Break the statement small. Note gender words like mother or brother. Move one link at time. Use symbols for male, female, and relation. Draw quick family tree. Start from known person. Practice common types. Example: A is B's father, B is C's mother → A is C's grandfather.

No, BEd 1.5 years not same as MEd. BEd is Bachelor degree for teaching start, while MEd is master level for higher study in education. MEd comes after BEd, not equal to it. BEd helps you become teacher, MEd helps you grow more in education field and research.
