alevel languages
because of things at my school, i have to choose between doing a level german or spanish and im struggling to decide- need help asap 😭
i’m getting 9s in both right now and ive always been good at languages but im still unsure
Spanish:
I find it a lot easier (because its similar to french- which I’m fluent in)
it’s becoming more popular as a language
i have friends in spain that i can practice with
BUT
the school i’d do it at is farther away than the school that does german (and my school doesn’t provide a minibus to get there)
because i have friends from spain, i can teach myself spanish and practice with them- plus it’s easier to teach myself
German:
0.3% of alevels taken is for german which means that i could benefit from speaking the language and increased opportunities because it’s becoming rarer
i do definitely enjoy it and i cant teach myself it at home
the school is a lot closer to walk to
BUT
it’s a harder language
i prefer spanish at the moment (although i still enjoy german)
spanish is becoming more popular for a reason and maybe german just isn’t as useful anymore
(For reference, i’m planning on taking chemistry and politics as my other two alevels)
please send help 🙏

Choosing your options is a big decision so please don't worry. After reading your post and pros and cons of both languages the best advice would be to take Spanish for the reason of you preferring it and enjoying it more.
At my sixth form we were given the opportunity to take 4 a-levels for the first half-term or if we wanted to carry it on for either the AS level or straight through and get 4 a-levels so speak to someone and see whether you could take both for the first few weeks and get a feel of them and see what teaching is like and which you would prefer and then take it from there
Hope this helps, Ella

Have you had the opportunity to visit each place and have a taster day - if not ask whether this could be possible to see what a lesson would be like, what the teachers are like, how they teach, whether you could see yourself studying there etc. if a taster day isn't possible then even just visiting and looking round should be.
Hope that helps, Ella

hi,
i’ll see if i can do that but i doubt it as ive missed the open evenings as i assumed spanish would come to my school (which obviously didnt happen). i’ll see if i can find someone who i can ask who currently studies it at that school because i think i need to decide by tomorrow

You could study Spanish as an External Private Candidate with AQA or Edexcel?
Campbell Harris College here in London on High Street Kensington, London, W8 6SH provides opportunity to sit the A-Levels in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Chinese. There is a supplement fee for the Speaking component, but it is the only Centre in the entire UK which offers it I believe?
Also remember, if you're doing AQA, there is one huge 50% half marks of your A-Level in Spanish for Listening, Reading and Writing and then 2 essays which are about 300 words each and a IRP project and speaking exam. It is an easy A grade if you prepare and maybe A* if you are exceptional!!! 😀 lol
How to register | Campbell Harris
Campbell Harris books exam halls locally in Kensington, and has around 2,000 mature students registering for all kinds of exams each year.
