Wow you seem sorted, I'm still deciding over China with Mandarin or Latin America with spanish. Do you think a year abroad is enough to get to A level standard in a language?

I made my firm and insurance choices solely based on the French exchanges they offered!
I think if you are studying in that language then god yeah? you'd be fluent within 3/4 months
however learning in your mother tongue and just living there would maybe take longer.
mandarin would be tricky solely because of the alphabet !!

From some of the maths videos in Spanish and French that I've watched it's not impossible, but I'd already learnt the techniques in English.

Anyone considering learning a language at uni?
If things go to plan I'm doing Spanish, German and translation studies!
Panicking reading posts by people claiming to do 10 hours of revision a day

Native Chinese (Mandarin) speaker here. If you spoke as much Mandarin as possible during that year then probably yes, but writing and reading are a pain. Depends on how much you actually use the language, you need to be disciplined and use it as much as you can, practice makes perfect obviously. I don't know what A level standard is but I'd say you'd be semisemi fluent at the end of a year, maybe.

I don't envy you at all, Physics in English is enough. I'm struggling with this politics/equality stuff in Advanced Higher French already.

Maybe the year in Latin America would be more suitable

Depends on what you wanna do, but I think being able to speak Mandarin is/will be incredibly helpful for your potential career..?

It partly stems from career prospects but also because I'm half Chinese and can't speak Mandarin or Cantonese though my mum is Cantonese herself. I just want to learn so I can interact with both sides of my ethnicity

I'm currently doing GCSE italian alongside my Alevels, although I like it, I much prefer Spanish so I think I'll either re-takeup Spanish or maybe try something new like German since I have no clue about it haha
