I can't do the vocabulary :cry2:

But thanks :smile:

But the vocabulary is at least partially similar to French? It's how I managed to remember specific terms that didnt sound the same between Fr/Es and English but did between the two:

Autochtone/autóctono - a native person.

I'm sure you'll swim your way through the Spanish course!
You should go for Spanish because:
1) Italian has one lf those terrifying 'Research Based Essays'
2) Spanish has a lot more resources for independent learners
3) *don't hate people* Spanish has very straightforward pronunciation/spelling rules (for a Romanic language)
4) It's a fun language, but just not as fun as German natürlich... :wink:

Do you want to learn Spanish, or to pass an exam in it?

For the former, I suspect this process is applicable to all languages.
1)Buy, borrow, beg books and audio materials
2 work through them (instead of trying to get people to spoon-feed you the exciting constructions from the back of the book).

The latter is probably the same as the former, except I would expect you to need an exam specification, the examination board coursebooks as well, copies of past papers, and someone to mark your essays.
