should I take spanish A level?

I do French and Spanish A Level! I want to study French and Spanish at uni so I am probably a bit biased, but I think they are great (I am not native in either btw). For me, everyone always asks me if I get confused, but I think if you were fine at GCSE you will be fine at A level as well, and they are pretty separate in my mind. I didn't find the jump too difficult, no more than any other GCSE to A level transition, it was more getting used to the style of A level, as GCSE you just talk about yourself, whereas A level you have to talk and know about the history and culture and have opinions on that. It is more difficult, but I think it is a lot more interesting. Also, doing French and Spanish helps me because the exams are set out in exactly the same way, so the exam technique is the same.
It is important to keep up on grammar and vocab (Quizlet/memrise are saviours!) but they aren't as content-heavy as other subjects, so less focus is on knowing content like you would in say History. Any other questions, feel free to ask!

I did both, and it was fine. However you should study the grades achieved by your teacher’s recent cohorts, and discuss your concerns with your Director of Studies, or Head of Modern Languages.

Thank you so much


Unfortunately, my school is tiny (I and 4 others study french in our year) so we don't have either of these

I'm currently studying both French and Spanish for my GCSEs, I am definitely taking French A level, but undecided about Spanish. I do really enjoy Spanish GCSE, however, my teacher isn't great which makes me feel as though I'd be behind doing it as an A level. I know it is quite a big jump from GCSE to A level as well. If anyone takes both french and Spanish A level, is it helpful or confusing taking both? Would you say doing 2 languages for A level is too much? Thanks!
