Yesterday all of us were relieved upon hearing the announcement of Miss Jenny that she won't be giving us an examination for her subject Mandarin language. Wow! We found it very difficult - the chinese characters and its pronunciation as well.
The purpose of learning Mandarin is for us to have a basic background of the language so that we will be able to communicate with our Chinese patients who can not speak both Bahasa Malayu and English.
She said we wont be able to pass if she will give exams since it will take several months to years to fully understand and learn how to read and write with the Chinese characters with its pinging.
Anyway thanks a lot and i could sleep soundly without thingking of Mandarin exams.

Mandarin is known to be one of the most difficult languages.............no doubt students were happy :) How long on an average it takes to be able to speak and read basic sentences?
