Am going into yr12 french. When will ASSESSMENTS begin? Is there still hope?

[timkins]

I mean, I am an idiot. I blew away 2 years of time when I could have easily studied properly in French and excelled in the process.

But I didn't. 15 days before year 12 begins, I am mediocre at best.

For the next half month I will be doing intense French and Japanese in order to, well, save myself from the perils of failure.

What I want to know, is, when do we start getting assessed? Because listening to ecoutez bien, I am really failing, to pick up on ANYTHING they are saying in French. It's terrifying. But when I see the French transcript to what I am hearing, I can UNDERSTAND IT PERFECTLY!!!

timkins, calmez-vous, d'accord?
In the period of one year, you will have improved so much you wouldn't be able to believe it, okay?

I suppose the first SAC? Unless you school is planning to test you first week back like mine is, you should have about 3-4 weeks, minimum, I suppose. Best advice I could give now is to GO AND ASK/E-MAIL YOUR TEACHER!! He/she probably understands your situation, and will be very willing to help you, okay?

oh, and also get an A4 diary, and pretty plan out your whole day: e.g. study french for 1 hour, then japanese, then back to french etc. This way, not only will you have a break from french and your mind gets time to reflect on it, but you can also improve on your other subjects as well.

bonne chance, timkins!
