I do spanish and French in school/ college which are probably the ones I would do if I didn’t in school, I’ve also done welsh because you have to in Wales but I would have liked to be fluent in it :smile:

other than that something like German Greek or Swedish

Well I have been learning it since primary and now I’m 16 and I know more in French and spanish than in welsh probably but I think it’s just the way it’s taught, my teacher was not fab and there probably aren’t a lot of resources to learn it + lots or rules and mutations so it definitely isn’t the easiest :frown:

awh you're so lucky! I have 2 more :frown:

What a levels are you doing?

Chemistry, biology, French and spanish I know it’s gonna be hard but we’ll see what happens good luck with GCSEs :smile:

German

I did Spanish for GCSE (I'm in Y11) so I'm gonna carry on learning that. Also, I've been trying to learn Japanese since I was 12/13 because I love the culture. I've got a huge summer after I finish my last exam on Tuesday, so I'll probably dedicate a lot of time to languages.

It's quite a challenge, I'm learning kanji with a website (wanikani - I have to pay for subscription though), and I try to watch lots of Japanese lessons on youtube. I take notes, which makes all the difference, otherwise it goes straight out my head.

sign language

I currently learning Arabic, and then I hope to move onto Spanish or French.

Started with Arabic about 2 weeks ago but ive been trying to practice nearly everyday. Been so far learning the alphabet including how to write the letters (isolated atm) and the pronunciations

French -
Unfortunately, i wasn't given the chance to study languages for my GCSEs and despite french not being a completely universal language (i.e Spanish, English, Chinese)
I'd still love to learn it.
