VCE Stuff > VCE Chinese SL & SLA
How hard is it?

3. If the VCE classes at VSL/Saturday Chinese schools are of the same standard as the non-VCE classes then they're pretty crap to be honest. I went from Grade 2 to Year 9 and I've never had any teachers correct people's tone when they were reading which is why I speak (if you can even call it that) mando monotonously and I'd probably fail the oral section in VCE. The non-government ones are on a whole different level but I only went for a year and it was insane how much they push you.

Yeah I've heard the Government ones are really cheap. Yeah i went to non-government ones too, it was alright, but the teacher didnt really teach us much stuff apart from reading textbook and answering questions. Not really sure if its worth the time and money.

Screw Chinese school, just learn Chinese by speaking it with natives and interacting with media intended for first-language speakers.

1. I worked my ass off but that was because throughout the year I was panicking since my Chinese school teacher constantly said I was shit (in a nice way of course). :) Of course, it all paid off.
2. Approximately speaking, in order: B+, A+, A in 2008. Or A+, A, A. Not sure about last year though.
3. I certainly did since at school, the teacher could only go at the speed for non-background students. At my Chinese school, I had that extra encouragement and support and also it really opened my eyes to the sort of competition I would be facing. Lastly, the Chinese school offered some oral exam practice with real examiners and that was the most rewarding and useful part. :)
4. Dunno. Never considered one since I thought Chinese school and day school was sufficient.
