is it okay to read childrens books (yes the type with lots of illustrations and maybe 3-4 sentences per page?)
Because they are TARGETED to people with simialr abilities? Or is this dumbing yourself down too much?

you will find that children's books are actually beyond the VCE Syllabus and harder than VCE exams (mainly vocab wise). Yes that's how broken it is.

LOL that's the exact same for Chinese. It's especially words that you don't use in essays but use in everyday life such as "sweeping the floor," "digging a hole in the sandpit," "licking a lollipop," just to name a few.

They learn from reading textbooks?
*ryan777*:
well yeah, its all textbook based stuff that doesnt seem to have ANY relevace in real life
in japan english is compolsory from about yr7 to yr12 and students spend hours on end doing grammar/vocab type drills that just teach it as a math/science subject rather than a language
after 6 years of learning not a lot of people seem to know how to use it
