Yes Janet, wait till you hear your dd coming back with all the "Yo this & Yo that". Almost everyday different slang. She has friends who come back from overseas for summer lessons & introduce more slangs.
I am very impressed with this IJ (TP) chinese teacher who is effectively bi-lingual. I spoke to her on the phone once & thought I got the wrong teacher cos she speaks such good english. Yes Ms Tang, chinese teacher in IJ is very good & bi-lingual too.
In IJ, the chinese teachers have to use english sometimes to engage the girls. Likewise at Maris too. -

Yes, IJ girls...very much the SJI, ACS pattern. When the bell rings for Chinese lesson, the girls will complain, 'Chinese again'. I'm determined to get my daughter to keep her standard up despite the common intolerance towards Mandarin.
haha! IJ girls..... :celebrate:janet_lee88:
In IJ, I think the girls will cringe if they hear classmates speaking in Mandarin. -

In a convent school, and especially in young families, I'm not surprised the Chinese teacher HAS to speak to the class in English as well, to get attention. If she goes on and on in Mandarin, I doubt her lesson would have gone into the girls' head. My son told me yesterday that his Chinese teacher spoke to them in English and ironically she banned the class from speaking English DURING her lessons.Yes Janet, wait till you hear your dd coming back with all the \"Yo this & Yo that\".
