They are learning Simplified Chinese. Traditional is much harder to write but true Chinese.

Thanks for the video. I am doing my final project right now on second language teaching, and this video makes me think a lot on how we can do to give students a better chance to learn a second language while they are still young.

I really wish I grew up being taught a second language while it was easy.

Wow... That is so wonderful. I, too, wish my parents had sent me to a school like this and I will definitely make sure my children get foreign language input one day. Kudos to the parents for being so brave and understanding the importance of starting early!

I SOOOO WISHH my parents would've sent me to a language immersion program as a very young child so I could learn without knowing I was knowign!

Now, I'm 20 and it's harder although I really love leanguages. gah.

can you still learn languages like a child if you have an ear for it?

@AntarcticSake this question made me think alot... im almost 19 years old and i still learn languages pretty fast. my first languages were korean and chinese learned from my parents. i then learn english and french (both immersion). and i went to classes to learn spanish. so my answer is yes i suppose, immersion really helps though.

what they, do they know what she is saying?

Yes, they absolutely do. From day one of preschool there is no english spoken in that classroom. My daughter is in that video, is going in to second grade now. She can read and translate from Chinese to English and back again! My son is starting the preschool program this fall and thanks to big sister, already has a jump on what he's going to learn!
