Third languages

[llbros545]

Hohoho, so many kids choosing Jap. What lizawa said is really true, Jap is really tough and the 3 Jap classes of my day have been all but chopped to 1 by the 3rd Year. The drop-out rate truly is scary. In terms of usefulness (in the future), French and German also wins Jap in this aspect. But Jap is still a very interesting and mystical language though.


Oh and yes, the textbooks for Jap are the MOST expensive out of all the subjects, at least for my year. I think it totals to about 130?

For us we dont want ds to spend extra time travelling so initially decided not to take 3rd languge. Then we realise the school that he is most likely to end up with has inhouse msp so deciding now whether to take it or not.

I wouldn’t recommend 3rd lang for people who feel so-so about the new language. Unless you are very interested, most likely you’re going to drop out soon. My jap class used to have abt 20 ppl. Now only left with the mixed blooded half jap people and those really crazy about jap. Usually people drop out cuz it’s really hard to learn and you may be listening for the whole lesson but not understanding.

Absolutely, Malay is a good 3rd Language to take. It is one of the easiest (hence, very manageable) and allows for 2 bonus points during the Os (provided you do sufficiently well).

Yes, for 3rd Lang, you must be REALLY passionate about it. Either that or be a true blue linguist hahas. Look up on the culture and see what fascinates you. Which is why I have gripes with MOE not making Russian a viable 3rd Lang. Russian Lit is really intriguing, especially Chekov’s! My remaining Jap friends are Otakus hahas.
