Has my Chinese improved? Yes. Much? No. Easy? Definitely not.
The first week was all about pronounciation and tones, and depending on our prononciation, we either stayed in the class or we were moved to a higher or lower level. I stayed in class, but a couple of my classmates were moved, and we got four other students to join our class.
Time flies when we are in class, but the last days have been frustrating. There's different reasons for my frustration.
- When I applied for the CLC, I was told there would be an average of 6 students per teacher. We are now 10 students in class, and yesterday we were 11. That means the teacher have less time to help each student, and she have to move on more quickly than if we had been less students.
- Different proficiency level in our class. We have three Japanese in class, and because they use the same characters in Japan, the writing is easy for them. We also have one in class who often speaks Chinese with the teacher, and another one who says he understand most of the things our teacher says. I guess I'm not the only one feeling this, but I feel many of my classmates have advantages when it comes to learning Chinese.

Høres ut som klassen med fordel kan deles ettersom dere fortsatt har svært ulikt utgangspunkt i møte med et nytt språk.Det blir nok mange trappetrinn på læringskurven.
ReplyDeleteDet er i utgangspunktet ingen endringer i klassene etter første uka, men jeg har snakket med dem fra Japan som gjerne vil i en klasse hvor de slipper å fokusere på tegn. Ellers ser jeg at elevene i klassen er gode på forskjellige områder. Noen forstår mer kinesisk enn andre, men har vanskeligheter med riktig uttale og toner, og motsatt. Etter en liten prat med læreren fikk jeg høre at jeg ikke skulle bekymre meg. Vi kom til å gjøre progresjon, deretter gå tilbake for å repetere stoff, og så fortsette igjen :)
ReplyDeleteHøres bra ut.Litt om gangen med masse øving er nok tingen!
