Au revoir for study of French, German?

Au revoir for study of French, German? - Pittsburgh Post Gazette

The growth in Chinese is much higher than in German, French, and Spanish.

What was left out of the article unfortunately was a comparison of the number studying Mandarin in the US.

I like this quote:

"I don't want to disparage France. It's a lovely country. And we have a lot of history with France," said Mr. Schwartz. "But I think there is probably no civilization with as deep and rich a cultural heritage as China."
