Seen it all now ...
There is a program on TG4 called "Ni Hao Kai Lin" ("Hello Kai Lin", or more literally "You good? Kai Lin") which teaches children Chinese... through Irish.
Its a rebadged Nick Jr programme but it really shows how small the world is becoming!
There was a phenomenon a few years ago when white middle class American kids began using Spanish in everyday conversations much to the consternation of their waspish parents. It was found to be down to watching Sesame St
I wonder if mna na dti (did I get that right?) at Gaeltacht houses will now have to sanction the kids for not only speaking English, but Chinese too!
