Comment on Hello, non-Americans, do you have any Chinese language classes in your education system?

My high school in a semi rural part of the Southern US had a Chinese language class that you could choose to take for your foreign language credit back in the early 2010s. I think it’s a false premise to say that it’s not taught in the US, most kids just choose to take easier languages like German, French, or Spanish

I definitely should’ve worded the post better but yeah I didn’t mean to imply that it’s never taught in the states. Just that my personal experience in the system (also southern but urban) didn’t really give me any chances 😕 But honestly a large reason for that probably just came from my particular setting (I’m NOT typing that whole thing out again but in one of my reply threads I go into more detail on the weird things I grew up learning)
