Another Germany related comment today. Made my day :) It really becomes annoying when you have to wait a minute because an old lady needs to count all her coins in Lidl. Back to the original topic, as someone who can speak a few languages, I find the arguments stated in the article quite interesting. Obviously, just because one speaks Chinese doesn't mean they will definitely be a wunder-kind in math. Yet, it plays an important role in speeding up the learning process.
