My daughter, who is a college senior, has been taking Chinese AND Korean for three years now, and has learned the languages well enough to feel comfortable visiting China this past summer and Korea twice.
While in China July 2013, she was offered a chance to compete in a televised game show, kind of like "Wipeout!" where they have to run through an obstacle course of moving, spinning objects while suspended over water, trying to beat the clock and NOT go SPLASH! Well, she WON! (A refrigerator! Not needing one in China, she sold it and it paid for her train ride through Japan!) Best part was, this kid from Massachusetts, all the way over in Haife (sp?), China was fluent enough in Chinese after only one year to understand their questions during the "winner's interview", and to answer in convincing Chinese! Great book, she says, "More than just teaching language!"
