Many details to square away, but No. 1 Offspring, having completed their university degree, and with no immediate prospects for gainful employment beyond McDonald’s, has opted to go live with their grandparents in #Taiwan for up to a year and participate in the government-endorsed (?) Mandarin language learning program.
At age 4 on a 3-month visit to #Taiwan, No. 1 was in a preschool program and, after a couple weeks switched to speaking Mandarin like a light switch was flicked on.
That has long since faded away through disuse, but I suspect, it might come back under immersion conditions with instruction.
