I only did two (French and German), but I was friends with a guy who did 3 - the same ones as you.

I only know of one person in my year that did all 3 (French, German, Spanish) to GCSE, and she's just done ASs in German and Spanish. A lot of people did 2 of the languages (French and one of the others)...maybe about 30, max? 80 in the year.

Yeah I'd say at least half are doing two langs. About 20% are doing two modern langs + latin.

I did French and German, didn't have any other languages at our school.
I would have loved to have done more. Didn't take any of them to AS but started learning italian GCSE at college.

I did both French and German, was going to do fast track German but the school ditched it. In my school, even though we're a language college, you can only do two at GCSE because Spanish and German are split amongst the year.

"You cannot handle learning more than 2 languages simultaneously; it will put you off revising for your other subjects." Words I can remember from my Head of Year... :rolleyes:

Yep, English is one of my favorite subjects :smile:

. I do like French and having a modern language would be good to add on my application. Apparently only people who have one language can proceed on to do a modern language (or any other classical language.) So that was that was the English people, who only know English. Prejudice or what? :mad:

I took 3 modern languages for gcse. (German, French, Italian). I was the only one to do so, but there were about 2/3 people who took 2 modern, + latin.

I only take German now, but I want to study German and Russian at university. Although I would like to learn a bit of Spanish at some point...

I really enjoyed taking 3 languages. It meant that I had at least 1 language lesson every day, mostly 2 though. The only downside ot it, was that it really limited my other gcse options. I had only two other options, which meant I didn't have that much variety. I'm taking the IB now though, and I worked out I have exactly the same variety of subjects now, as I did for gcse - so it levels out a bit in a sense.

Then it's not because you are Asian. It's because you already speak a second language.

It would be good to add on your application as well, but I think your level of English as a second language is brilliant :yep:

Don't get me wrong. I'm still learning English as a first language. I can speak both Arabic and English fluently, all I wanted to do was learn French as an extra that's all, and I was prohibited to do so; despite my appeal and hate for IT.

I took French, Italian, Japanese and Latin.

it was wicked.

would have done spanish too but they messed up my timetable.

I think about 3 people in my year took French, German, Italian, Japanese and Latin. I was *jealous*. (we go to a "language college")

I plan to continue French and Japanese to AS this year and possibly to pick up Spanish again in my second year.
