upload it I want to see =)

organise by themes maybe?

The thing is people's mindsets change between year 10 and year 12 I think. At the moment I don't really do anything for languages but I don't need to, though I've generally done more work over the 2 years than I did work in year 10 and before that. The only subject that I intensely study for is...

errrgh, i obviously have done French. And Extension. Not sure why you find it boring and tedious. God forbid you learn about another culture.

Not really. Native speakers don't always do better than the Australian kids. The ones at my school are coming last in the year 12 classes, though I think it's because the classes are tiny (4 to 5 people) and the only people who bother to keep up to extension are dedicated enough to get high...

I think a lot of people find English hard.

You're throwing around the right sorts of words, but it sounds clumsy. "Only through overcoming such barriers can society become a character of value, self-worth and purpose." how can society become a character?? A thesis is supposed to be one sentence long. Then you introduce the texts...

use your belonging RT? Honestly there's no trick to this. I recycled my texts from belonging and they worked fine. The teacher even made a point in the trials that common texts like To Kill a Mockingbird were marked down because she said that such well-known texts have to be analysed...

What games? I haven't really done any study yet.

I've 'heard' that this doesn't actually work. I read it somewhere but I can't remember. It was like in the 'common myths regarding memorisation' part of a presentation I think. Maybe it was from Prue Salt?? It sounds bogus to me. Especially since most people probably got the idea off the Simpsons.

my teacher also advised this (+2?)

what?

What's with all the idiots who think 'natural' is better? This is maybe so for food but not tans. I don't understand why there's such a stigma surrounding fake tans. How is it different to wearing make-up? It doesn't always look orange (people who claim this obviously have never tried many...

why? Did you do it?

hi! If I were you I would do as many languages as I could. They are fun and the more you do the easier they get (although continuers courses are more fun than extension courses as the literature can take your focus off the actual language learning.) Do whatever your school offers and then Open...

Thankyou! That was really very helpful! "especially for anyone who hasn't studied languages before" Have you? At high school or elsewhere before uni??

what exactly is boring about the french? I've read alot about it on these forums as well and everyone seems to hate it. What is it specifically?? The assessment tasks/grading??

Re: Subject Reviews (PDF updated 17/01/09) this thread is really helpful and useful, but the link in the first post is dead. Can someone remedy this or has the thread-starter long-since graduated university and abandoned this site?

Can anyone doing (any) language at Usyd give me some feedback on their course? Also, are the beginners courses taught in english or in the language itself? (junior 1). Same Question for Junior 2, in english or the lang? Thanks:tree:
