Another interesting aspect of it that I learned about at Chinese School on Sat. was this program:http://www.nsliforyouth.org/nslicms-0.2/
Those 15-18 year olds selected can go to China to learn language for just the cost of a passport (everything else is FREE)! I wonder how competitive it is. My 11-year-old daughter was most certainly interested in the idea of going to China by herself to learn language.

Most important thing we can do to reinforce language acquisition for the kids (otehr than move there for a while as some of us have been able to do) is learn it ourselves! Even the basics make a difference and can help with mastery of names and places which most westerners find disorienting. We can learn too! I tell Helen that when I adopted her, part of my heart became Chinese, too!
Thank you so much for this reference. The programs I contacted for Hindi are already full for this year, but sound wonderful for next year!
Malinda, I am so thrilled that you posted this. My 17-year-old daughter did get into the Hindi camp at Bloomington, IN as a result of you telling about this. What a gift! Thank you.
