<p>I was just curious to see how different systems have different subjects or number of units per semester.</p>
<p>In my school I have 13 subjects every year and instead of having few subjects in first semester and then few different subjects in the next, I have them all throughout the year, all 13 of them. Every year I have 13 subjects.</p>
<p>What about the rest of you?</p>
<p>^Same
I have English, Dutch, French, Chinese, Latin, Math 2, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, World Histrory. Had the same in my junior year</p>
<p>Do you go to a language school or something? Five languages is impressive wow.</p>
<p>My subjects are: Math, Macedonian, English, German, Management, Marketing, Business, Banking, Macroeconomics, Economics, Practical work, Organization, Citizenship.</p>
<p>Well basically it’s a school that does all “basic” things, so not all the applied stuff you do. I wish i could do some applied stuff you do,</p>
<p>13 or 14, depends on the year. Gymnasium.</p>
<p>I’ve had 7 subjects for the last 2 years:</p>
<p>English, History, Sociology, Psychology, Bengali, Environmental Education, Literature in English.</p>
<p>At this moment, I take 9, I used to take 13-15, but we can "specialize’’ a bit in our final year.</p>
<p>Whoa. Okay…in Y10 and 11 (freshman and sophomore), we take 10 subjects for GCSEs and IGCSEs (I ended up taking 11 exams because I had Chinese as an extra one). In Y12 and 13 we do the IB Diploma, so that’s 6 subjects, plus Theory of Knowledge. (This year and next I’ll be taking English, French, Spanish, Math, Chemistry, Psychology and ToK.)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m. So. Jealous. I had to get permission to take two foreign languages!</p>
<p>Yeah, in the Netherlands we are actually forced to take a lot of languages, which is really cool actually! I take/took: French, Dutch, German, Latin, English and Ancient Greek. No Chinese though! That is really great!</p>
<p>I wish I’d been forced to take a lot! I’d have taken French, German, Latin for sure and maybe Italian and Spanish if I was allowed.</p>
<p>No Dutch? I am insulted!</p>
<p>Well, maybe I’d learn Dutch just for yewwwww.</p>
<p>Hahahah…I take German outside of school and I’m Chinese, so I speak and read that (sort of). I’ve also taken Latin and Japanese for a year each in the past, but Latin was boring and I had to choose French over Japanese…</p>
<p>Yurzzzz! I’ll teach you Dutch. You know what you have to do? Speak english
but insert a lot of GGGG tsjjjj sounds, and it looks like Dutch. TRUST ME!</p>
<p>I take Russian outside school, but that’s it. I really should have been less lazy and taken French as well. Oh well, hopefully in college!</p>
<p>I read on CC that in Chinese books thunder and rain mean a sex scene.</p>
<p>Edit: I will do that, kittykat. Once my friends and I wandered around Park Street making guttural noises and pretending we were speaking German.</p>
<p>I took 25 last year (9 classes everyday!). 18 this year. We take all of these courses year-round.</p>
<p>Qasi, thunder and rain mean sex in Mongolian too, except it’s “cloud and rain”. lol.</p>
<p>Hey, Bilgy! Where’ve you been lately? Haven’t seen you around.</p>
<p>How many languages did you take?</p>
<p>Hahaha, Bilguun, you are the EPITOME of scary competition. High SAT scores, from the most sought-after country in admissions, taking 25 CLASSES, please don’t tell me you have won the international physics olympiad too? I wish I could withdraw my applications and apply to safety schools instead.</p>
<p>I teach at a university prep school in Ankara Turkey, and my tenth grade students, for example, take 15 required courses this year: English, French, Turkish Language, Turkish Literature, Math, Chemistry, Physics, Biology (these are separate courses preparing students for the Coordinated Science IGCSE Exam), Ethics, National Security, Band, Choir, Music Theory, Phys Ed., and one more that I can’t remember…</p>
<p>Qasi, I cut my internet cable so that I could write my essays! haha
Not many languages; Russian, English and Mongolian.</p>
<p>Thanks Guilty. I feel really humbled by people here on CC too. Unfortunately, I don’t have any international awards.</p>
