From the linked article...

"According to New Oriental, medium proficiency in English now gives a Chinese child an almost 25 percent salary boost when he or she enters the working world; advanced English provides a more than 70 percent boost. Of course, companies like New Oriental have a vested interest in making such arguments, but many outside experts echo them. Asians who work at multinationals but speak broken English are likely to bump up against a linguistic "glass ceiling" and be passed over for promotions."

I would say that would be a good reason for the Hispanics here to learn it also. Even higher percentages related to English proficiency would apply here for advancement.

I heard many advanced school are teaching their kids different Chinese dialects.
