<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Actually I Have A Question:<br />#1...Why Do You Believe Learning Chinese Is Important For Him?<br />#2... Is There Some Special Reason He&#39;ll Be Needing It? ~ Perhaps Employment.<br />#3... Since Spanish Is Needed More &amp; More, Why Would You Want Him To Learn Chinese,<br /> Instead Of Of A Language He Can Use Every Day? <br />~<br />If I Were He, But I&#39;m Not Of Course; If I Were To Learn An Additional Language, <br />I&#39;d Want It To Be Something I Can Use Regularly, And Often Enough To Remember~ <br />~Rather Than A Language I&#39;d Use In Rare Instances, Which Would Gradually Cause The Loss Of It&#39;s Use

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You&#39;re Absolutely Correct: <br />We Learn Languages Both Better And Fasted In Our Youth,<br /> And Less So As We Age, ~~But Here&#39;s &quot;Why&quot;..... At Birth We Have A Large Volume <br />Of A Chemical In Our Brain Used Exclusively For Learning Languages; And It Dissipates As We Become Older Until Very Little Remains...
