When I told my colleagues my children will be going to a SAP school and taking higher chinese right from P1, their advices were the extra 2 points not worth the 6 years effort. I have hard time to brain wash their thoughts. Afterall it was just myself to defend all of them. Chinese is a beautiful lifetime language. We don't study just because aiming for the extra 2 points.

哇，今天真是碰对人了。 eh loving life, come come, enlighten me - precisely becos we don't study just to aim that two points, why shd our children do higher Chinese?

Don't get me wrong, I am neutral de, if anything I am lean toward taking higher Chinese. I also hope my kid can do higher Chinese. I know the 2 points thingy and that it is only an advantage if the kid is aiming for sap secondary school. I have not tried convincing anyone on this subject but even internally, I find it difficult to justify why shd I let my kid take higher Chinese.

I have never weigh how heavy is this 2 points. The only reason why I want my children to go through tougher path because only till then they can appreciate the language better. But by doing so I might be putting myself in the risk. Is either my children love it or hate it.

My 2 nieces took higher chinese because 身不由己. They were in SAP school. They came from a english speaking family. After PSLE, they completely shed off the language. How sad right?[/quote]Use my method teach them chinese, learn in fun way.
Never memorise compo, or else, they will burn chinese book after PSLE.

For higher chi, can get up to 3 bonus points.


For me I will let nature takes it course, if dd1 can handle she will keep her higher chi if can’t she will just take normal chi for PSLE.

Now that I’m older, I can appreciate the importance of the language and the heritage behind it. My decision to let her keep higher chi is not based on the bonus points but what she wants. At the moment she doesn’t hate Chi so will see how it goes when she’s in upper primary.

Hi, lovinglife

哗！孩子懂这么多，近乎完美了！
和小孩玩文字游戏吧！如简单的＂木＂变成＂林＂再变成＂森＂
玩字谜游戏吧！如＂13点＂，猜一字？答案是＂汁＂
Apps里有好几个手写汉字程序，精彩有趣，肯定让孩子爱不释手。
我觉得一个5，6岁的孩子能写＂新加坡＂我就很感动了。 :nailbite:

真的吗？看来我的要求有点过头。。谢谢指点。
部首游戏挺有趣，我会准备所需“材料”，谢谢！

Some SAP schools does not have an option? It has to be all the way or request for a transfer, right?

巿面上有卖这些＂材料＂，只是不多。
我自己设计教学生，反应异常热烈。

Hi,

Any suggestions on how to learn chi in a fun way? Or did you post in the earlier pages?

Here's a silly qn, I think in Eng when I communicate in Chi, is there like a grammar bk or some sort of guide to explain Chi sentence structure ?

Thank you.

If Chinese and other 3 subject did not meet school requirement, student not allow to take higher chinese in P5.
If P5 higher chinese did badly , student not allow to take higher chinese in Psle.

My advice is : Throw away English grammar when speak mandarin.
