I have that problem in my GCSE French class.
In lessons, I've ended up getting in loads of trouble from being so utterly bored that I've started playing up, or from falling asleep. I've also had meltdowns when people don't understand it :/ This is someone who wants to be a French teacher...
The weird thing is that I did my French oral-
In the GCSE I got an A.
In the AS (I'm doing my AS and GCSE both in Year 11), I got an A*.
That was weird.
