is ok if your girl can follow the syllabus because the difference between hcl and cl is not much at P1. But i do notice that berries assume your child knows hanyupinyin already if u join their P1 hcl class.

My daughter does HCL at Berries but not at school and she does say that it is much harder. She was at Berries from K2 so her Hanyu Pinyin was already not too bad when she started but, yes, they do assume that you have at least a basic understanding.

Anyone send your kids to Skylace Language school in toa payoh before?

Is their HYPY class for K2 good?

Hi, I’m a home tutor (google teacherhuihui) I’ve met cases like this before, some children are not so good with HYPY but once this stage is over and getting on to Chinese characters, it may gain his interest and he probably will do better

Agreed. My P1 girl is very bad in hanyu pinyin. She failed all her hanyu pinyin Chinese spelling & tests. Now not much hanyu pinyin & more chinese characters, her marks have improved. She still prefers Math & English than Chinese.

ddtan:

hi,

can anyone share any good Chinese enrichment class in Northeast area (Sengkang, Punggol, Hougang) ?
Anyone with Han Language or Zhengfei for Pri 1 ?
Can comment or feedback if they are good.

TienHsia and Berries in that region is all full... :slapshead:

Have you try putting your kid on waiting list? Worth waiting if they are good. there is a Beijing, just opposite compass point.

There are many top magazines from china at http://www.magazinebox.com.sg/category-children. Those magazines are in mainstream Chinese languages. You can find that several magazines are used by singapore top primary schools to improve their students' Chinese. For example: ”少年文摘“ have been used in Chongfu primary school to improve their students chinese.
