A little girl's interest in wanting to talk about Chinese food put her on a path to study the language.
Isabelle Szczerbinski first became interested in Chinese when she was 5.
"We were at a Chinese restaurant in Dallas. She was watching a man making noodles. She was so excited that she wanted to talk with him. Unfortunately, he didn't speak English. On the way home, she said she wanted to learn Chinese," said Eric Szczerbinski, Isabelle's father.
