Well?

It's no longer compulsory for me, but I'm taking 3 languages anyway.

No, because I know English.

Why would I bother with anything else?


To communicate with other cultures outside your own or other english speaking cultures and not to expect them to speak english?


And yes I took Spanish and French at GCSE, Spanish at A level and hope to do Spanish and (only if I go to lancaster uni) possibly italian too at Uni :)

i Took spanish for 2 years. i had too but i loved it. It was very easy for me and i picked up on it write away, now i can pretty much understand all over my mexican friends so its pretty awesome. Just to brag i got the highest grades throughout both years and for both finals. Jetzt ich lehre mich Deutsch auf meinem einegen(?). Es ist wirklich Spaß!

Yeah, I took both French and German to A-level, and I'm studying French at university.

No I didn't.

French was compulsory for me. from grade 1 to 9, then I chose to take the course again in grade 10, but I dropped it in 11.

Once I'm done with my three years of Spanish so I can be in scholars and NHS, I'll be done taking foreign language at school. I can't learn anything in those classes.

Japanese/ASL.
Day Old Blues Posted at 12:35 pm on Sep. 24, 2008
Yeah, I'm doing German GCSE.
Lulu Nobody Posted at 11:33 am on Sep. 24, 2008
Yes. And I'm majoring in Japanese, picking up a minor in French and planning on taking all four Polish language classes here at my university.

I passed out of the requirement level for college with a test, but I'm still taking Spanish and plan on taking it continuously and possibly minoring in it.
katyduck Posted at 4:34 am on Sep. 21, 2008
Yeah, I did German to A-level. I wanted to take Irish and French to GCSE aswell, but the way our school worked meant that it wasn't possible for me to do more than one language and to study music at the same time.

I loooooooooved languages though. Will definitely be taking up Irish, and possibly Spanish, at some point whenever I go back home.

It's always been compulsory for me to take a foreign language. In grades 1-7 I had to take Finnish, I've had English ever since I started 3rd grade and I've had Russian since 6th grade. In 10th grade French was added and so I'm taking 3 foreign languages right now and I'm in 12th grade.
