In an ideal world I’d like to study German and Spanish at Uni, I love languages and it was only due to things out of my control that I didn’t get to do them at GCSE.
Then maybe go for Eng Lit? I would assume the skills you learn there in analyzing and understanding texts will be useful in your degree, as I am sure you will have to read literary works and not just learn the languages.

You raise a very good point.
Since seeing that a language degree wouldn’t be a waste I feel a lot more content in specialising in them at A-Level
If you get good grades, then you cna get into a very good uni and then you cna access very good jobs irrespective of subject.
Course I’m very nervous about not having my GCSE and everybody else having theirs, but I imagine after a couple of terms I’ll be on par with everyone else.

Please clarify. i dont believe you mentioned it.
Do you mean EL?
If so dont worry, its just read a book and have an opinion.
Nah I mentioned it in my original thread. I have my EL GCSE, just not in German and Spanish. That’s what I’m nervous about.
Presumably you are good at languages and they wouldnt let you sit them if they werent confident in your language abilities. People that like languages tend to have an aptitude for them all. When Ive looked at the area before then I believe German is the one that offer the highest paying posts. Anyway GL.

Yeah, the long and short of it I levelled with the head of the department and explained why I didn’t have my GCSE’s, and said why would I want to put myself through the hard graph of learning it all in two years if I wasn’t serious? Took a little convincing but I got him to agree haha.
