if no background, Jarred is more beginner friendly, Bata is the more engaging one but you would need some form of a background to keep up

mixedFILI 11

I hope my comment isn't considered obsolete because I had him for FILI 11 in 2018 as a freshie. Sir Claros is among the Fil Dept's GOATs. Relatively young, relatable, and knows his material well. He does have a heart of a teacher. He is in fact a high school teacher which is his main job until now, I think. From what I recall, he does research on literature, narrative, critical studies, and the like, which is aligned to his master's degree he finished in the Ateneo, so I believe he can give a lot of information and contextualization aside from what Pasakalye, your book for FILI 12, already provides. A with notable effort (ofc), and that effort includes speaking and writing Filipino befitting a college student (after all, this is still a Filipino class), and he does deduct points due to grammar or word choice faults, but he's not a grammar nazi. No matter your grade from him, tho, what matters is that you'll leave his class knowing that you did learn something. Good luck!more

hi! currently having him for intercession and hes super chill and fun! assignments are very beginner friendly and fun (chinese fruits tiktok filter, recreating a chinese meme, scavenger hunt, etc) hes very patient if you're a beginner, and will gladly give you extra help if he knows you're having some difficulty :D not sure how it is for normal semesters but in our intercession class as long as you're done with your work he also is just very fun to be around, he plays roblox and plays while we're doing our work and you can even play with him when you're finished HAHAHAH even if intercession is fast paced and very crammed, some of our class mentioned it was going a bit fast for them and he made sure to slow it down regardless of the time constraints :) very considerate in making sure you learn Chinese itself hehe overall amazing prof and i look forward to his class everyday because he manages to incorporate a lot of recent trends into his activitiesmore

Hi anon, had Sir Chiang for CSP11 also last sem! His activities often involve splitting the class into small groups, they're fairly simple (e.g. writing down the pin yin for words he reads out loud, going around practicing small talk w/ classmates, etc.) I'd say it's A-able even without background knowledge of Mandarin. Just make sure to review the gdoc of terms before the Among Us finals 🫶🏻 Overall, found the class to be a lot of fun <3!more
