devil_lance Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Aside from the Standard English and Filipino Subjects that you took, were there any other foreign languages you learned from school? For me, unfortunately none, the schools that i went to didn't include any other Language Subjects aside from those mentioned Though it is my dream to learn Japanese, Spanish or Mandarin Quote Link to comment
gw@p1t0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Nung Hi-school ako meron kaming Spanish subject......Japanese, sa work ko na natutunan ito eh.... Quote Link to comment
jt2003 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 (edited) In the old days, we were required to take 12 units of Español. One of my biggest regrets from those days was that I never took those courses seriously. I saw them simply as requirements. My mistake. Edited June 11, 2005 by jt2003 Quote Link to comment
Guest vaindoll Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 En la universidad de las islas filipinas, yo estudio y hablo lengua español. Es muy interesante y mi proffesora es muy guapa. alright alright my spanish sucks. I dont know how to speak in the past tense.hehe. Old curriculum in UP requires the students to learn and take 6 units of the Spanish language whatever your course is. Although the music students are required to take up 5 different languages if i remember it correctly. Im an FA grad and I really wanted to learn Latin if i had the chance. Intiendes? Bien.

MentalQ Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 It seems I never stoped attending language courses, but I cant say I ever learned much except the odd phrase or two:Conversational Chinese (Mandarin)FrenchBahasa IndonesiaThai Quote Link to comment

Later, I believe, students had to take six units of Filipino, thereby decreasing the units of Español. Then Español disappeared altogether as a requirement. Muy, muy, muy...... Quote Link to comment

By the way, when I said Español disappeared as a requirement, I meant that it was no longer a requirement for ALL students, regardless of course. Back in the 1970s, you had to take Español, whether you were a business, engineering, architecture or whatever major. Edited June 14, 2005 by jt2003 Quote Link to comment

Yung sa music, i am not certain bec we are not in talking terms anymore. Nasa listahan sya ng 2001 curriculum ng CFA di ko alam sa ibang courses. 2001 curriculum differs from the 1979 curriculum dahil lang sa nadagdagan na units sa FA specifically sfa17 and sfa18. But when the RGEP curriculum was approved in 2002 (which is university wide) some of my classmates shifted to that curriculum and they did not took up Span and exchanged the subject for other subjects on the Arts and Humanities domain. On the other hand di ako nag shift doon so I still took up Span classes and old subjects like STS, Philo, SocSci's etc. (for short hindi ako tumakas and still took up GE subjects ng UP dating way back 1979. which i suppose is, hardcore?hehe) Some of my batchmates naman tinakasan yung mga subject na yon including Span by shifting to RGEP. Pa ikot ikot na ako noh? Parang ikot jeep.Pero...graduate na ako jan!!!! heheheh Quote Link to comment

Take it from someone who was too short-sighted to take this language seriously. Knowing Spanish will serve you well later in life. Edited June 15, 2005 by jt2003 Quote Link to comment
missmanners Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 we were required to study spanish and latin in grade school all through to high school. when i was choosing which foreign language to take during college, as it was also required, i took spanish. got an easy A. Quote Link to comment
agxo3 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Im an FA grad and I really wanted to learn Latin if i had the chance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Latin! Yes!!!! 4 years in high school. Got good enough back then to hold real life converstions with my friends. By now, most of what I learned is gone........at least on the surface. I hooked up with a few hs buddies not too long ago, and by the end of the day, little bits and pieces of latin crept into the conversation. Then a couple of years ago, I wento to Rome, and walked through the forum in the center of town. Big old blocks of marble, with words carved into them - and I could read most of 'em!!! Surprised the heck out of me, and the people next to me when I started reading the blocks out loud. They trailed me all around, asking me what the blocks said. Made for a really interesting day. Funny what hides in the back of your consciousness. Quote Link to comment

devil_lance Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 inline with foreign language subjects... may alam ba kayo school (or any institution) na nago-offer ng french language classes?to answer the topic: i learned a bit of german during highschool... not sure kung bakit yun ang pinili nilang foreign language for our batch yung iba kasi puro spanish na. nung college programming languages na nakuha ko. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Really?

cool2nasty Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 french sana nadissolve lang kaya ayun SPANISH ang natake .... :cool: :upside: Quote Link to comment
strangedays Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Took up latin when I was in the seminary but I left after a few months so di natapos. Took up Mandarin for a schoolyear and a half but switched to Japanese (ganda nung teacher- panalo!) Switched to mandarin when she left So took a lot of foreign language classes but never became fluent in any of them Quote Link to comment
rapturousone Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Mandarin during grade school and high school. French and Spanish during college. My experience is that it is best if the language is used as often as possible otherwise most of it is lost over time. However, it is relatively easy to pick up the language once again when you're re-exposed to it (i.e., travelling or taking a refresher course). Quote Link to comment
