P1 Chinese - General Discussion

[hquek]

happy88mum,


FYI, SHHK has posted their enrolment for their HYPY class. there’s only 12 lessons in total and they only do this at the tail end of the year. I asked previously and they said that if they run the class earlier, kids will end up forgetting what they learnt due to un-use.

My kids are with SHHK classes. it’s in Toa Payoh central. I find their teachers and materials good. We haven’t tried their P1 ‘qiang hua’ class - understand this is more in tune with the MOE syllabus. But for the other classes like ‘lele class’ (N2 to K1), P1 oral and listening class, I give 2 thumbs up.

Hi Hquek,

Have you tried the P2/P3 reading class. And I understand that their class enrolment will open to existing students and need to put on waiting list.

hi monstermummy,


Am considering the reading class. I thought they had that for P1 but turn out only the ‘qiang hua’ class and this oral listening one. Understand that qiang hua class is strictly like what they do in school. I want him to read more chinese books but boh pian, oral and listening is next best (then).

Enrolment will be open in phases. Existing students first, then followed by SHHK members and finally public. Not too sure about waitlist becos long time back, I started him in speech and drama midway through the year - so we could join the first phase (machiam like primary school) for the new year.

Hi hquek,


Thanks for your feedback as I understand the enrolment is only available for certain phases like April and August. I will try to contact the centre.

Any good Chinese enrichment centre at Marine Parade to recommend? My P2 son is weak in Chinese Compo.

Hi monstermummy,


You may have confused that with the SHHK member registration. This shhk act is an outreach of shhk. There is only 1 enrolment per year and I think it'll happen in Oct. They do have a website (http://www.shhkact.com.sg). Details of courses and fees are posted there - they will post the available timetable closer to date of enrolment.

If you are calling them, I think the office is closed today. You may want to try later in the week.

Molin was recommended - and they are in the east area. But best to go down and see if the syllabus and mode is suitable for your child.

Hi Mommies


Can I check if any of your kids attends Berries Primary 1 level classes? My girl will be in P1 next year and she has been taking Berries since N2. As we don’t speak Chinese much at home, she tends to forget what she has learnt very quickly. Am wondering if I should continue with Berries next year for P1 or switch to a private tuition teacher? (my own Mandarin is hopeless so cant really teach and also worried if I can help her in her schoolwork!)
