Self-teaching languages over summer progression thread!

Gonna have a go at German/Spanish depending on which one wins the TSR vote.


I may do German on my own time if it ends up being Spanish.


I have no social life

Glad to see you're taking an interest in language, Danny boii. I'll be studying Esperanto before moving onto a European language of my choice. Keep me updated on your progress.

I'm trying to learn French. It's progressing very sloooooowly. Xenophobic views about the diabolical nature of the French- rising very fast! <--- This is a very unfunny joke, to vent my frustration with the pronunciation.

I'm doing an A-level in German at the moment, so I think I can speak, erm, some German. Probably. I also used to be able to read and write Latin, so the grammar should be manageable, once I get to the point of having mastered enough spoken words to make a sentence. <--positive thinking

can i just ask, im thinking of doing german next year for alevel but everyone seems to say its hard so im not sure! I'm expecting an a or a * at gcse in german and ive also done latin for gcse although not sure what i'll get in it.
Anyway is german alevel reaaly that hard? And does doing latin at gcse help?
