intensive

Hello, there:
If someone learns a skill from a teacher everyday including weekends, you are a little worried about if she/he feels stressful.
Therefore you want to know if he/she wants to learn every other day rather than everyday.
In the case, may I say "I am wondering if you think the arrangement of class is too intensive"?
Is my usage"intensive" right and natural?
May I have your correction?
Thanks a lot!

Dear Compatriots,

I would say

I am wondering if you think the arrangement of class is too much (for you)?

Yours

Perhaps "schedule" rather than "arrangement": I am wondering if you think the class schedule is too intensive."

Thanks a lot for your replies, Silverobama nad copyright.
They are very helpful!

Note that in this context the adverbial phrase 'every day' should be used, rather than the adjective 'everyday'.

Seems to me that the question is about the use of intensive and that it hasn't been answered yet. 👁 Roll Eyes :rolleyes:


Yes, I think you used intensive correctly. (I would leave out "arrangement of" and just say "the class is too..." or "the class schedule is too...".)

Thanks a lot,everyone.
I learn more.👁 Smile :)

You could also say

"I am wondering if you're finding the class schedule too intensive."

Note that "stressful" is not correct here, you should say "stressed". You could however say that the is too stressful!

Thanks a lot for your correction, grubble.
I am lucky to learn a lot for the forum.
Thanks a lot again!

"Arrangement of class" makes me think of the placement of the desks, chairs, tables, etc in the classroom.

I actually had to look up the word "intensive" in the Word Reference dictionary here because something wasn't sounding quite right to me, since I so naturally would have phrased this as "too intense"

"I was wondering if this_________ is too intense for you?" is how I would phrase a question if I wanted to get feedback on whether some situation is stressful for them, where too intense already means "too filled with stress."

That of course depends on what question you are aiming at.

Are you asking/wondering about how the person feels (intense) or are you commenting on the complexity and focus of the the arrangement/course of study. (intensive)

You wouldn't normally use both in the same sentence because it would sound too bizarre, but if you do, you might see they are different:
(
"This intensive (focused/pointed/covering a lot of material in a short time )arrangement is too intense(too powerful) for me."

I'm not sure, but I think you wanted to know if the other person had been experiencingstress, in that situation I would use "too intense"
