How Do Learn English With Tamil?

If you study in singapore is it required to learn mandarin english tamil and malay?

  • i read somewhere that those are the main languages.... which ones are required?

  • Answer:

    English is the 1st language in Singapore . Normally we are required to learn 2 languages in primary and secondary school . English as the 1st language and our mother tongue as our 2nd language . The three main mother tongue language here is Chinese , Malay and Tamil . So basically u need to learn English(complusory) and either Chinese , Malay or Tamil . But if u coming here just to take diploma or degree course then u only need to know English .

english is a must. Pick either mandarin, tamil or malay for a second language. But only if you are in the Secondary level or lower.

Almost all Singaporeans know English. Chinese people make up the majority, so it would be useful to learn Mandarin. :) Malay and tamil isn't as commonly used. However, English is the most important so if you know English, you can definitely get by.

In the next 5 years, all Primary schools and 2/3 Secondary schools will introduce a third language at conversational level. All students will take two languages, their mother tongue and English. Then, they can choose to take a different third language. For e.g If you are Chinese, you would learn English and Chinese and you can choose to take either Conversational Malay or Conversational Tamil.

No. The most important one you should learn is english. For the other 3, you can learn them if you want to know more.
