Investor's daughters stun with mastery of Chinese

Learning Chinese has become a hot trend in the Western world. The daughters of the famous American investor Jim Rogers, Happy and Bee Rogers, are two fans of Chinese as well.

The two girls, 13 and 7, started learning the language when they were babies. Now, they can speak fluent Chinese and even do tongue-twisters and sing songs in Chinese. Rogers has mentioned many times that the whole family moved to Singapore to give the children a better environment to learn Chinese and experience Asian culture.

Chinese netizens are shocked by the girls' proficiency.

"Their Mandarin is so good it beats 99 percent of Chinese," said a netizen named Mo Feng Qi Xi. Another commented that they speak like the host of the Spring Festival Gala.
