Advanced Higher French 2020-2021

I’ve been doing it for 6 weeks and we’ve virtually done nothing new I have no idea what my teacher is playing at

How many people have you got in your class? I'm the only one in my school doing AH French and there is only one person doing AH Spanish

you're the only one? gosh

Yeah the people at my school really don't like langauges haha, so I have to sit with the Higher class

I made this thread quite a few years ago. Hopefully it's of help to you guys: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2320896

Feel free to ask me for any help regarding French, Spanish or modern languages in general!

Hey I'm doing AH French this year too! (maybe?) I was supposed to be sitting in with the Higher class but it turns out the teacher is unable to teach the AH course, so I've essentially got to self-teach or not do it at all. I've got access to tonnes of resources and also SCHOLAR so it seems hard but do-able, do you guys think it's possible?

It might be though I imagine it would be very difficult. I'm the only one doing AH aswell but I just sit at the back of the higher class while my teacher gives me tasks to work through. Why can't you be in the room with the Highers?

Howdy! Hope you both don't mind me butting in. Someone made a thread recently about doing AH languages and I honestly think my advice to them would be applicable to you as well: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?p=88309530&highlight=

All in all, just remember that you really, really don't need AH qualifications at all. They really can take up a lot of your time and amount up to quite a bit of stress. That said, I would highly encourage the experience of doing one, especially if you want to go to university after. And, if you're thinking about doing a foreign language at university, then I'd recommend you doing an AH language all the more. However, unless your timetable is completely free, you have nothing better to do and you're cruising through the course because it's so easy, then I wouldn't bother with the exam.

Please, please just remember to focus on your Highers for entry into university and the experience of doing an AH course. Sitting the AH final exam is not required at all; you can just do the course throughout the year and then choose not to sit the exam. I wish I had done this!

Doing AH Spanish helped me soooo much with university level French and Spanish but my situation was less than ideal because I had to to travel to another school every other day and the teachers were pretty bad... I somewhat wish I hadn't sit the final exam because it really wasn't worth the stress.

Anyway, if either of you need help with languages or AH French/Spanish, let me know - I've done a degree in both and I tutor students from Nat 5 to AH.

P.S. Neither AH Spanish nor AH French were offered at my school. I did AH Spanish at another school and ended up self-teaching AH French (but not sitting the exam unlike Spanish).
