In the past six years, the number of high school students in the United States studying Mandarin Chinese as a foreign language has increased tenfold, to 50,000. "Once Japanese was the language most Americans thought their children should learn but then Japan's economy faded," recalled CBS' Barry Petersen in his Eye on Education feature. "China's economy keeps rising fast." The government of the People's Republic is trying to capitalize on the trend, Petersen reported from Beijing, by training bilingual volunteers and sending them to teach in American schools. Chinese is a "tough and subtle language," Petersen opined. A student from Snohomish Wa demonstrated: "You could say 'ma' and then you could also say 'mma' and have it mean 'mom' or 'horse.'"
