    Italian Ext - Rosso Come Il Cielo

    Appunto, è difficile studiare nel senso che si studia per le altre materie - cioè non si può scrivere degli appunti e poi memorizzarli, ma invece bisogna praticare ogni giorno... lo so, però se scrivi/leggi/ascolti/parli in italiano ogni giorno vedrai che il tuo italiano migliorerà, ed è molto...

    Italian Ext - Rosso Come Il Cielo

    Sì, anch'io! Tutta la mia classe ha riso un sacco quando si è addormentato nella classe. Ma scusami, forse non ti ricordi piccoli momenti come questo. Devo ricordarmi che io l'ho visto mille volte! E allora, ti piace studiare italiano?

    Italian Ext - Rosso Come Il Cielo

    Shame.... :( Are you doing Italian cont though? Yeah, I do really like it, but now that I've looked at it in such depth I've sort of lost sight of the big picture and forgotten what I actually thought of t the first time I saw it. The Mirco + Francesca thing is sooooo cute though.... possibly...

    Italian Ext - Rosso Come Il Cielo

    Cool, and did you like it? Are you planning on doing Italian extension next year? :)

    Extension speaking HELP??

    Yup, I'm really keen to study languages at Uni (but I'm going to have a gap year first). :smile: As for how I manage, I actually find learning languages really easy. Everyone has their forte, and mine would definitely be languages. I actually think I have way less work load than lots of my...

    Half Yearly ATAR Estimate

    Thanks guys. :rolleyes: I’d really like to get >98.5... Do you think this is possible/likely, depending on my final marks in Italian and French? e.g. the mid course exam we did for Italian Cont was a past trial, only altered very very slightly by our teacher, who has marked at HSC several times...

    Italian or French?

    I know I’m several years late, but I too would like to know this, as I’m thinking of doing Italian and French at USYD. Is it still true that the French department is awful? Why/In what way? Thanks.

    Half Yearly ATAR Estimate

    Hi everyone, Could you please give me an estimate based on my Semester 1 Report results? :) My results which are on my report are in brackets, followed by the bottom and top mark of anyone at my school in that course this semester is square brackets. I know it's not very relevant but I just...

    ATAR Rank Estimate

    this is an extremely vague and difficult to answer question, because you could get thousands of different combinations of marks/ranks. ie. we don't know where your strengths and weaknesses lie.

    Extension speaking HELP??

    @Muramasa: I thought of a couple of other things too. Our teacher sometimes gets us to have about 7mins preparation time and then we have to record a monologue, except in english. Then we go through and write a vocab list of all the words/phrases we used in English that we wouldn't know how to...

    Extension speaking HELP??

    Grazie, anche a te... Però, direi che so cosa dovrei fare - non è che riesco a farlo tutto! ;) I'd say that I know what I should be doing - that doesn't mean I manage to do it all!!

    Extension speaking HELP??

    Hi there! I do Italian Ext, but assuming that Japanese ext is the same sort of thing, this should be relevant to you. Do you have to do a 3 minute monologue on an issue? Anyway, I think that the best thing you can do is be really really well practiced. You basically need to have already done a...

    Italian Ext - Rosso Come Il Cielo

    Hi, Are there any other 2014 Italian Extension students out there???? If only this forum wasn't so dead... It would be great to get a bit of discussion started on the next text set for study, Rosso Come Il Cielo. What do you think of it? And what extract are you up to in class? How did your...

    Do i need a VERY good hsc mark for these subjects in order to achieve a 90+ atar?

    I can't guarantee how accurate it will be, but to get some idea you could just use an online ATAR calculator such as http://www.hscatarcalculator.com.au/ . Put in your subjects and play around with the marks. I don't know which are your stronger subjects, but putting in a HSC mark of 88 for each...

    Number of HSC language students falls to record low

    GO THE LANGUAGES!!! :jump: Anyway, apart from that little moment of celebration that people do actually visit the BOS language forums occasionally, I have to say that as someone doing 4U of Maths and 5U of foreign languages, I know that the languages are going to be way more useful in the...

    Working out where you sit in the state...

    Yes, of course, and I have done plenty of ATAR estimating, but it's hard to know what marks/percentile to put into the ATAR calculator if you only have your own class and your own teacher to judge by. So basically, I can never really know... Maybe HSC study days will give me a better idea...

    Working out where you sit in the state...

    Hi, I wonder quite a bit about where I sit overall in NSW in certain subjects. Particularly in languages (I do French Beginners, Italian Continuers and Italian Extension), I'm coming 1st in my school, but because of small class sizes and the fact that I come from a country area and I just can't...
