Psst...wanna learn Engrish?

Hmm...am I allowed to make that joke? Oh well, too late.

OK, anyway, here is an article from the New Yorker about how the Chinese are trying to teach as much English to the Chinese population as they can, before the Olympics.

From the article:

Linguists estimate the number of Chinese now studying or speaking English at between two hundred million and three hundred and fifty million, a figure that’s on the order of the population of the United States.
