Enye Hypersonic February 14, 2018 Share February 14, 2018 When you go to SCCCI for registration, you need to sit for a short and simple test. Guided by a Chinese teacher or coordinator (usually a lady). From the test, they will gauge the level of your language and advise the type of Mandarin course you need to take (for example, basic, intermediate or advanced). wah...foc? ok i go and find out more....thanks boss! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your assumption about household income is absolutely wrong. It is nowhere close to even half that. Edited February 14, 2018 by Kusje Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benarsenal Turbocharged February 14, 2018 Author Share February 14, 2018 Wow. Not many people your age with such good dual language skills these days. How's your written and spoken mandarin? I think I can speak well enough, to get around and communicate with people. Of course, always learning as I go along. Written maybe not quite as good but I can read and recognise most signages and understand what they mean. But a lot of signs here also have English words now.
