Well congrats on moving up! :biggrin:

It's a shame that you don't like it - Just focus on the interesting bits to motivate you through the rest :wink:

Yeah, I really wanna get into a grammar sixth form :redface:

I want to do Physics, Maths, Further Maths & Computing. Your nightmare essentially! :rofl:

Oooh fancy! And why thank you :colondollar:

Errrgggghhh I envy you so much on being able to take those. I'm more scared about failing than the difficulty if that makes sense? I'm taking chemistry, biology, English lit+lang, German. Dreading chemistry because I'm not too good atm, but need it for biomed so I'll work hard :biggrin:

What about plans after sixth form?

We're doing the imperfect atm, and in German I'm doing 'das Dativ' which is just memorizing the genders BUT I CAN'T DO THAT. I've done 3 writings and 1 speaking in French, All B's/A's. Wbu? :smile:

Gah grammar - our teacher's french so it's second nature to her - (hilarious when you get her to say cockroach - it sounds like cockwatch.... :smile:

- random fact of the day)
Ouch. Genders in German? Painful. :biggrin:

Doing iGCSE so all exams in summer eeeeeeek but my teacher is remarkably optimistic so predicted A/A* - but my work standard fluctuates so no way of guaranteeing it... :frown:

I wish

Don't want to sound big-headed, but both languages my benchmarks are C's! I'm aiming for an A, if not A* in German. My old French teacher was French, but my one now just had a French mum :/ My German teacher has the whole 'scary German teacher' look but she doesn't speak with the German accent. Also, Germans can't pronounce squirrel, it's how they spotted spies in the war :wink:

There's also 50 words to say 'A' in German :mad:

(ein, einen, etc..) Oh, the joy of languages!

Heehee, no problem :colone:

I just like physics mainly, but maths has its moments :colondollar:

Yeah, I get you and I feel pretty much the same way about everything :tongue:

I'm doing Maths, english lit+lang, biology, chemistry, physics, music, geography, RE shortcourse, computer science, German and I've done statistics. Biology is my worst science :colondollar:

and ooh biomed nice! It's good to see people motivated :biggrin:

I want to go to uni (aiming for oxbridge but mmmrmrmm) and study physics or computing or physical sciences, how about you?

Sounds pretty hard :s-smilie:

My only creative subject is Music (OCR) which is okay at the moment, but the theory is incredibly boring!

Facts of the day. Danke. :smile:

And no, you don't sound that big-headed much. It's fine. :biggrin:

And if she has a french mum, doesn't that make her... um.... french? Or at least half french?
I love how we both ignore Spanish... I even took it for a year. :colondollar:

What put me off was having to sing One Direction's 'Live while we're young' in Spanish.... Gah.

Reply 1328

oh yeah, what's everyone thinking of taking for A-level? :smile:

I'm thinking at the moment Chemistry, Biology, Maths and English Lit (to save me from drowning in science :wink:

)

Mhhm yeah he is French, but he doesn't have an adorable French accent. Such a stupid error I made by saying he isn't french ahaha
Oh I didn't learn Spanish :frown:

In my school our year group is split in half in year 7-9, so one side learns french and german and the other learns french and spanish. Happy I learnt German, but I wish I learnt Spanish too :frown:

I hate one direction so singing them in a foreign language was probably worse than singing them anyway :wink:

Whoops. I assumed it was a she. Odd.
yeah, I dropped German in year 8 to study Spanish because I knew that I only wanted to do french only for iGCSE and just wanted to try a new language. spanish is nice - apart from singing of course. (yh i hate one direction too - it was painful tres tres tres) loads of people in my year do spanish actually. can't believe they weren't put off by one direction :confused:

Ahaha! You're so lucky you could choose a language to drop and take on. What's awesome is my French teacher's called 'Pascal', how French? :biggrin:

Hope so xD my teacher said we gotta read inspector calls by ourselves ;( nearly finished with my ISA prep :smile:

only have to think of and alternative method then it'll be pretty straight foward memorising.. What grades are you aiming for across all your subjects btw ? ;o

Ah sorry about that ;( oohh well done :smile:

Oh nice

was thinking of going along physics route or biology route and biology won in the end.

My school has FM but yeah... I don't think it's really for me :biggrin:

I can't stand the thought of even moooore maths - in our school if you do maths and further maths,you end up doing 3 hours of maths a day sometimes. Me thinks no. :P
Must be horrible when you want to do something and it's not offered. :frown:

3 hours lol imagine putting physics within it that'll be like 4 hours, rip sixth form life. But yeah it sucks the way I can't do it, I really enjoy maths but it's k, I get to escape the risk that I might get a bad grade :smile:
