Hi,

I'm taking German for A level next year, but I was wondering how hard it would be if I did Spanish and German A level? I'm on course to get an A* in German GCSE, and an A in Spanish GCSE.

However, I've done a sped up version of the Spanish GCSE - we only got the option to take it halfway through year 10. I am missing a lot of the basic knowledge because we basically moved straight into GCSE work, so I'm wondering if it would be a sensible idea to take A level Spanish, or whether I should just forget about it?

I love languages, and my teachers have said that I have a natural aptitude for it, but I don't know if I will manage Spanish A level.

What's it like doing two languages at AS/A level?

Thanks for your help

I vote go for it, just take a beginner class for a few weeks in first year till you feel you've caught up & you'll be fine. I did the same with German & have had no problem... set for A at A level :3

Why not borrow a Key Stage 3 Spanish book from the library during the summer, and brush up what you would have been taught, if you'd started earlier. Then you can waltz in next September, confident, and with a spring in your step!

But I don't think you really need to worry, because I took GCSE German in a year, as an evening course last year, with little prior knowledge, which is a similar situation to your Spanish one, and now I'm doing A level German. They don't seem to test pre-GCSE stuff.

Perhaps because it would be unfair to all those of us who only started at GCSE?
