Smart little girl, with parents who are a role model for how to raise successful adults.Monkease
I don't remember any of the Obama children ever doing anything impressive. They were experts in grinding and smoking weed though.Jenny246Reply toMonkease
You must feel pretty good about yourself by putting down 2 teenagers who did not want to be in the public eye and not boast about their achievements. And that "pot smoker" is going to Harvard right now and will probably do greater things than you could ever imagine.ClintonPrisonBound
This is a nice change for the White House..... Malia and Sasha Obama could barely speak English......but they sure liked the pipe!MyTake345
Trump is smart to encourage friendly relations with other countries. Obama, ever the arrogant one, only made enemies.Evan
I think all American children should learn a second language and this video shows that the time to start is when they are very young.TRUE TRUTHReply toEvan
I agree on children learning other languages. Communication is very important. I recommend the language they learn should be associated with their family plus other languages. EXAMPLE: My father is Italian and I should have been taught Italian and another language and English should be the primary language.EvanReply toEvan
Don't be ridiculous, Mires. I'm a Trump supporter. I was born and raised in Miami and hearing Spanish was a fact of life. Most of my childhood friends were Cuban. However, I think English should be the official language of the USA, and why shouldn't it be? Did you know that of the 198 nations in the world only 8 have no official language (including the US and UK)? I hope Trump addresses this during his presidency. I'd be interested in hearing from some Brits on whether they think the UK should make English the official language.Ash WinderReply toEvan
Mires - hilarious darling. What planet are you on? Because you definitely aren't standing on planet Earth. ... Spanish is one of the most commonly spoken languages throughout the US. It can be found in almost every single city somewhere, from border to border and ocean to ocean. .... Most people actually don't give a second thought to overhearing Spanish in the States it is just that common..... And the people that do "care" well they've existed for a long time and they'll keep on existing for a long time. Clinton wouldn't have changed a thing in that regard except likely make it worse.expatmars
Clever, clever girl. Stunning family of beautiful, well-balanced and successful overachievers. We hit the jackpot with this family. In fact, we never had such a bright First Family before and this is no exaggeration.ouchagain
My granddaughter got marked 98 in her end of tearm exam in Mamdarin , so I know how proud Trump is !KM32082
Considering that China is taking over as the world super power, it would probably be smart to know the language. As Americans, we are spoiled. We think that others should acclimate to us, even when we are in their countries. We should also educate ourselves more about world geography/politics/events. How many of us can point out say, 10 countries on a map, name their capital and their current leader. especially throughout this election season, it's become obvious that other countries are much more aware about our country than we are about theirs. Or in some cases, our own.ixnayReply toKM32082
Trump is an isolationist. Americans are isolationists. China, who executes people for simple theft, can go to hell alone. China is not "taking over" as a world power. It's weak links such as yourself that have controlled America since the end of the Reagan presidency. That day is over. Go back to your latte.focus1
Clever little girl. They seem a close and responsible family.... whatever is thought of Trump himself.Kuno
The difference between the Left and the Right? The Left will scream abu se, rac ism and cultural approp riation!! They will demand that she stop learning because other kids might not know how to speak it and it's UNFAIR!!!!..While the Right will applaud the child and her parents on their excellence and encourage the child to continue to explore other culture's languages.KayReply toKuno
I think you have your left confused with your right. Seriously...this is a really bizarre comment. I've only heard the right say people should "speak English!" while the left has praised the achievement of speaking more than one language (and acknowledged the difficulty) and tried to have language integrations in the schools while the right fought against it. I taught in the US, so I'm quite familiar.
