      Just an update on my 4 year old (5 this year) attending berries. From not liking chinese, he now get angry why we pick him up so early from class. So I guess he is enjoying it.


      Must emphasize that parents play a part. Berries do stress that point. Like when we never complete the homework, we get \"scolded\". They know its the parents fault... hehehehe.... So i think its good, cus they take our kids education very seriously.
      somehow i agree that enrichment classes with discipline in handing work is better so that we make it a point to get our child to do the work.. heee..

      my first choice is Berries..

                In my opinion, Berries and EduPlus are better for kindergarten to lower primary! My son has been with EduPlus since k1. Their methods make learning fun and effective!

                As for Tien Hsia, their materials and programme are more academic driven and comprehensive! Again, it depends on individual kid's needs!
                My son is taking higher Chinese in P4 this year so I am giving tien hsia a try to see how it works out for him!

                        [/quote]In my opinion, it's fine to memorise good phrases/sentences but not stories. Normally good compos all come from authurs' true feeling and their real life stories. Chinese is a language, we can't avoid memorizing because every word/phrase has different spelling and meaning...but memorizing also has skills...f.g. what time every day is best time for memorizing knowledge?How often do you need do revision?How to memorize things solidly but faster?...want to know these tips, I recommend an experienced native Chinese tutor http://www.supertutor.sg
