Berries Chinese

http://www.berriesworld.com/


Yesterday our boys started learning Chinese at Berries. Even though they have both had Chinese once a day at school for two years, they know very little. The level was just too high and maybe they gave up before they had even truly begun.

Luckily they had a great time at Berries! I was permitted to stay for the entire class and watched as Frunty and Pit danced and sang in Chinese and even said short sentences. Day 1! The Singapore school system may be good at teaching to those who are strong learners but anyone who is at a lower level, they are made to sit at the back of the room during Chinese and told to draw pictures.

This is what has happened to Frunty and even though we tried to get a tutor in for him, it was not permitted. Pit learned a bit more in K1 and 2. But at Berries, we hope they both can learn even more...just for fun and just because they can!

Sai-chen! (I learned something too!)
