Any of you done an a-level in a 'less common' language?

and randomly dabbling in several foreign languages? hahah sounds good to me!
Good :} So when do you get the exam results?

I have done an A-level in Dutch which is my 2nd to native language...though I'm by no means fluent

Since September, I have been studying German every so often...with the aim of eventually taking the language at A-level and perhaps taking my German studies leven further at uni!!??

What language A-levels have you taken? && How are you finding them?

I get the results of my exams within a few minutes of coming out of the exam, I think. I think I get called back in and told what I got, after the examiner and the invigilator/moderator/whatever the person is called have discussed my performance and given me a grade. For Studieprøven I get the result of both listening and speaking just after the speaking exam that way.

I did GCSE Dutch ( I got an A*) but I don't know I there any point in doing A level after GCSE? I was born in Amsterdam so my Dutch Is fluent!

Minutes! That would swiftly put all of your suspence to rest! So I guess your only wait will be for Københavns to release this years GPA entry requirement / Get in touch with you? spannend!

Yep, the scores are all published on 30 July, and I presume I can log into the equivalent of UCAS or the Copenhagen Uni system that morning and see what the deal is as well. Just thinking about it makes me start to sweat a little bit...

Japanese. Got an 'A' grade. I'm not a native speaker but I'm half-japanese (ethnicity) I believe it's what you call a 'hereditary a-level'.

noch anderthalb Monate warten!! ooh

Oh but there is no such thing as a 'hereditary A-level' every A-level will require some independent work on your own part

Did you grow up in a English/Japanese bilingual environment though?

wow thats cool, well done but are u fluent in it?
did u do it in school or have to do it outside because i asked my school if i could do gcse Hindi but they said they wouldnt and that i would have to pay for it if i wanted to.

Yes I did It was the talk of the school for a while.

modern hebrew!

Ahh - and there I was feeling stupid for having asked that when you explicitly said that you're not a "native speaker"

But it does make sense Similar to my situation with my "childhood home language" in fact, I couldn't classify myself as a native speaker of that language.

Talk of the school! Haha. was everyone just surprised to find out you could speak some other language? Or was it because Japanese is generally regarded as awesome?

Good going. That's what I'm aiming for this summer!
