Speaking of Chinese
My son is minoring in Mandarin at Harvard. The classes are immensely enjoyable because they are largely free of a PC bias (as compared to HS language classes.)
An early translation sentence went something like this, "The horse kicked the old man and the old man beat it to death."
(We don't condone or promote animal abuse in our family.)
The classes are five days a week w/ three emphasizing vocabulary and sentence drill. The instructors who conduct drill speak little English which forces the students to use Chinese to communicate w/ them. It's very helpful.
