A level chinese
I'm taking AS Chinese and was wondering if universities consider the a level. I am half Chinese but it's not my native language in fact I only started learning the language 2 years ago when studying gcse. Thanks

Chinese is one of the most highly regarded languages in the world, they would easily take someone on with an A level in Chinese.
I agree. I did very well in Chinese at GCSE, but unfortunately I didn't take it for A-Levels as I thought I'd do better in Maths. I do regret that decision and I am sure that Chinese would be very beneficial for University and future employment.

Mandarin or Cantonese

Mandarin

Mandarin
I'm also half Chinese and haven't learnt it, I wished I had the opportunity to! How hard has it been? My mother is Cantonese also so that makes it harder
Original post by lollilly
Haha where is your dad from? I'm half chinese half Turkish
yeah my mother is Cantonese also but she suggested that I do mandarin as it's the main dialect. I'm finding it quite hard to be honest as I am learning so many new things. It's A massive jump from GCSE but I'm trying to get by. It's even harder as I only have a 2 hour session once a week so for me it's a lot of self study during the week which sucks. What's even worse is that I find the grade boundaries to be very high due to many natives taking the exam so everyone gets a high grade
the struggle of a BBC haha

My dad is English! Yeah I've picked up night classes along with my A levels, but in Spanish! Have you learnt any other languages, such as Turkish? ;p
Original post by lollilly
Night classes? Seems like a lot of work haha.
i did attempt to go to a Turkish school but found it difficult to fit in so I just try to learn a few phrases here and there at home. I'm doing the same with russian at the moment. I did Russian gcse but not for a level so I'm partially self teaching at home. but I think is going to try and get my chinese sorted first before fully starting to learn another language
can you speak Cantonese?

Nope
, I was a late speaker so my parents thought it was best for me to concentrate on English! And I made the mistake not taking any languages at GCSE. Trying to make up for it with Spanish and hopefully Mandarin as well as university along with my History degree. Can you speak Cantonese?Original post by lollilly
