        Chinese is the chinese that most students learn - used to be known as "EM2 Chinese".


        Higher Chinese used to be known as "EM1 Chinese"

        Basic Chinese used to be known as "EM3 Chinese"

        *Assuming you are similar age to me… these EM1, EM2, EM3 were the streaming terms we had when we were in pri sch.

                        haha, the \"second language\" is funny.
