I would have gotten that last question wrong too! :colondollar:

It required you to make a suggestion based on the written information - I would have wrongly answered it with 'boete'....jees, these GCSE questions have gotten a wee bit trickier :wink:

Haha, that's even closer than 'Bücher' ! What is the singular in Danish? :awesome:

I could barely understand the question so it doesn't matter what it wanted. :tongue:

The singular is bog.

If you consider in what relation my answer was, I have just 10% answered correctly. 5 out of 50 is not very much, isn't it?

Das war unser Geheimnis! :tongue:

I honestly think you could have answered nearly all of the questions! Exercise 3 would especially have been easy for you! Du weisst sowieso was 'opa' und 'oma' bedeutet und dass 'juli' wirklich 'Juli' ist :wink:

I call a false start! :mad:

Has anyone made the "What you think/hopw you'll get" vs "What you actually got" thread?

It would be a crime if that one is already up too! :tongue:

I just checked the Discussion Thread! Turns out that also serves as the other Results Thread! So they've beaten you to it again!

That OP is sooooo greedy! :mad:

Bin halt für mehr Transparenz.

Wer deutsch kann, der sollte mit niederländisch nicht so viele Probleme haben. Die Vokabeln sehen sich zum Teil wirklich sehr ähnlich.

Haha, sicher! Ja, das stimmt! Die germanischen Sprachen sind echt verwandt und das ist klar zu sehen :biggrin:

Really hope one of these beginners classes will run at my college!

Russian
Portuguese
Arabic

Portuguese is scheduled to start the night before my Dutch exam though... The other 2 would be straight after.

French has been ruled out now -by me- :tongue:

I haven't been on here in a while :rolleyes:

Bonjour again!

My French teacher wants me to join her Russian GCSE class next year, but I'm already hoping to do five subjects at AS (including two languages), so I'm thinking it might be a bit too much? I really want to do Russian though, I wish I'd joined the last class, because then I would just be finishing the GCSE :tongue:

Vielleicht, vielleicht! :rolleyes:

I can't believe that it's now been a year since I had my first beginners German class at the college! I started it sometime in June anyway ^^ My teacher was very impressed and she entertained my suggestion of doing AS/A2 :tongue:

(I lasted a month!) And you know what, if I had been a more disciplined student from the get go, I would now have been awaiting 2 A-level results! Tja... :laugh:

Arabic would be more doable imo, I can read Arabic... But thats about it

Reading is easy enough though

Really? Just because you can read it doesn't mean I can :tongue:

Go for Russian if it does. I believe you asked me in PM how good my Russian was well, it's not bad, not brilliant either but not bad :tongue:

Also it's privet, you don't add a y as it's not needed in Latin script as the Cyrillic alphabet doesn't include it, привет... the в is a v in Latin script :smile:

so you know, the Russian Alphabet is easy to pick up, the language itself not so much :tongue:

Ahá! That's what I thought! It's just when I see Russian names starting with the cyrilic 'e' it's sometimes transcribed as a 'Ye' :redface:

I'm already aware of most of the letters, spasibo! :wink:
