P1 Chinese - General Discussion

[janet88]

Thank goodness there is no CA/SA at P1…or I would be more stressed having to brush up daughter’s Chinese this year. But still I set work for son as to spend time coaching her. Slow but hoping she will pick up. Must pray hard she will be faster and more adjusted soon.

Oh dear...sorry to hear that your gal in P1 has CA. I will cry buckets bcos my gal will fail miserably if she has CA for Chinese. Last night, I was going through as much as I can for her review today...not much luck though as she is still very playful and detests hanyu pinyin.

Yes yes... She has done very well for her english and math... i hope she can do her best for Chinese today. Her hanyu pinyin is quite good PROVIDED she can recognize the Chinese characters... once she knows the Chinese characters, she has no problem doing the pinyin... My girl actually enjoys and likes hanyu pinyin, which is much to my relief...

My gal prefers chinese characters more than hanyu pinyin...but learning HYPY is to help her learn to look up dictionary, or else she will never learn how to check for characters on her own
