No, teach it latin

Teach it English and read to it early and often and it’ll have a better chance for success than 90% of Americans now.

>should I teach the kid Mandarin?
No, if you really want to help the kid out teach him Latin and Greek. If you do—he'll basically be one in ten-thousand of his generation who's properly educated. Whether it's biology or law he'll be able to deduce what terminology is or whatever phenomenon it happens to be referring literally at a glance.

How would you teach someone something you don't know yourself?

No, teach it Ithkuil.
If it learns Ithkuil it's brain will be supercharged and you'll have a 400iq child.

every single lawyer in europe learns latin for years

>>220805958
yea, its a rare skill outside asia, chinese companies are expanding and will continue to do so unless globalisation is reversed (unlikely)

no teach it swahili

>>220805958
No. Kids learn from what you do as parents, not what you teach. Unless you already speak mandarin, it's useless. Send them to a school with foreign language subjects when they are older if you are so inclined.

This whole premise is dumb. Intelligent people don't think in their native language when thinking deeply. For communication we already have several international languages that when uses correctly leave zero ambiguity
