@@hdajq892ey7 Depends on your commitment, and your dedication to learning the basics. An important part of learning Chinese is to spend time learning the basics, in fact that’s probably the most important part, everything else is secondary. If you screw up learning that, Chinese will seem very difficult and unintuitive, just like any other language, but if you learned a latin based language it gets even more difficult, since your first language and second language are completely different. The most important thing is that you have to understand the pronunciations and strokes and basic characters to pass any Chinese one course with flying colors. I recommend you first learn the pronunciations of 妈麻马骂吗. This will help you learn the speaking portions of Chinese, along with the pronunciation while giving you a simple enough introduction to the language. After you can say it at a good enough speed with good enough pronunciation and become able to say 妈妈麻马 while conserving the meaning to someone who knows Chinese, you should be good enough for Chinese one in the speech department, as long as you follow the coursework the teacher gives you in the speech aspect. After that, I recommend you learn the basic strokes of Chinese, which are the 点，横，竖，撇，捺，and so on and so forth etc. While learning these basic strokes, you should also learn the order of which you must write these strokes, and this is where we get to an important part, where you can’t necessarily choose whether or not you fill this role, and that would be whether or not you are right handed. Most people are, but fair warning, this is pretty important. The Chinese language has a heavy focus on being right handed, as the entire language is built upon the assumption that the person using it is right handed, including what direction your strokes go in. I would know, because growing up in China I was left handed, and I was forced to change to right, although it wasn’t as hard since it was a young age. However, since I assume you are also in 8th grade, it is a fair warning since you likely can’t choose whether or not you want to be right or left handed at this point. After learning the basic strokes, the next step for me would be to buy a 字帖 at a basic level and work through it, making sure to practice good form the strokes. Make sure to apply what you learned from the order of strokes and what the stroke names are by saying them as you write, like saying 点 after doing the top dot of 家. After you are done with one character, pronounce it, this will help you remember it. If you do that along with the coursework if you take Chinese, you should be able to pretty easily learn the Characters and Speech. As for Grammar, I can’t really help I was kinda born knowing the grammar on an intuitive level, so good luck with that lmao. Don’t forget that you should listen to your teacher above all, but this should be pretty helpful.

Here’s a tip. Make sure your high school can give college credit before you graduate. I wish I took that opportunity in my high school so I wouldn’t have to spend money on classes I already took and take other or more useful classes for my potential career

We had to do a practice ACT sophomore year, and the thing you said about the AP gov exam was exactly what happened. I was over here actually trying, and the kid next to me would click through the test so quick and then sleep. I think he and his friends were all clicking a different letter on each part of the test, like a for english, b for science, etc. I hope he doesn't do that on the actual thing ;-;

How did he score on himself that quick😭

There are a bunch of people in my uni that took AP calc classes in high school, but none of the credits transfer over so they have to take the same classes as me, someone who never took an AP class. Their asses got scammed

I saw this and thought they were out 😭😭

I like how the 7 Calculus AB score implies that even tho you got a 6 in this fictional scoring system, it’s not perfect

Ya nah he is right everybody on my gov class fell asleep or just throwed cause it’s too much reading

Got a *4* on the macro test and a *2* on "micro", although granted I think micro is harder overall)
