　　woman they know as Ms. Yang.

　　“What day is it today？” she asks, in Mandarin Chinese (普通话)．

　　“Confucius' birthday！” the fifth graders shout in Mandarin.

　　“Why do we celebrate Confucius' birthday？”

　　“Because he's the greatest teacher in the history of China！” exclaims a brownhaired girl.

　　She is speaking Mandarin.

　　English is rarely heard in Lisa Yang's class at the Chinese American International School

　　(CAIS), despite the fact that few students are native speakers of Mandarin.

　　such as Mandarin. The students at CAIS are way ahead in such a trend.

　　Founded 25 years ago, this small private school in San Francisco, USA, does what few other American schools do: It produces fully fluent speakers of Mandarin Chinese, by far the most

　　commonly spoken language in the world.
