Why do Chinese Americans find it hard to speak Chinese?

Why else do you think a lot of Asian kids can't speak Chinese? This is not only for Chinese kids!

The reasons:
1. It’s a hard language to learn
2. There wasn’t a lot of cool ways to learn Chinese growing up
3. Which Chinese do you learn?
4. Chinese-Americans don’t really speak Chinglish with each other
5. If there’s not some REAL pressure then you won’t go and learn it
6. People were always super critical when you try and always try to correct you
7. A lot of Chinese parents just want their kids to achieve so bad that they will just teach their kids English to ensure their best chances of conventional success
8. A lot of the Chinese that came over were not necessarily educated themselves so they don’t teach their kids advanced levels of Chinese
