IN THE NEWS: Chinese, It’s the New Spanish
Robert Dorsey is not Chinese, but he drives 25 miles from El Cajon to
Point Loma every morning so his two daughters can learn to speak, read,
and write in Mandarin. “In my culture, it’s English, Ebonics,
and maybe a little bit of Spanish,” says Dorsey, who is African
American. “About ten years ago, my wife was in college, and her
professor told her Chinese was the language to learn. I want to give my
kids a little bit of an edge in life.”
