VCE Stuff > VCE Languages Other Than English (LOTE)
Did you go to the country of which the language you're learning is spoken?

The trip itself didn't really teach me many things about the language as it focused on the culture. This would actually help many of us select a detailed study topic for our Unit 3/4 Orals.

Scare. I don't even want to think of the detailed study for Japanese SL 3/4... Like what, the discussion only lasts for like... 7 minutes? It seemed short at first but in reality that's so long.

I took up VCE French and UMEP French and I've never been to France hahah. Whilst an overseas trip could certainly help language skills (especially oral, I'm guessing), I don't think it's a huge advantage. Ultimately hard work and a passion for the language will boost skill level :)

Nice work :o
I'm not sure if this is going off-topic, but what were your thoughts on UMEP? I was thinking about doing Japanese at (currently it's only offered at) Melbourne Uni.
Also, do you think it disadvantaged your ATAR? Do you think doing another 3/4 would have been better?
I think that wanting to do the language is the most advantageous, too ♡

Personally I looooved UMEP! Made some great friends, continued the language I love, learnt heaps and basically had a great pre-uni experience which got me really excited for uni next year :) I don't think it disadvantaged me - relative to my other VCE subjects, I didn't put as much time into UMEP and wound up with a 4.0 increment (equivalent of a 40 in a 5th or 6th subject). In my case, I think it would've been harder to score a 40 in another VCE subject - depends on the individual though! Good luck with whatever you choose :)

It sounds good :D
Yeah, with 99.85 I'm sure it didn't bahaha.
I'm thinking the same... gosh. It's all so hard to decide.
Thanks for the advice ;D
