writing a personal statement as a languages student
Reply 1
I would recommend referencing any topic that you have studied in your French A-Level that you have enjoyed most, and why. Have a look at the modules the universities you are applying for offer and reference them in your personal statement, is there a module for example on french literature where you could talk about a book you have previously studied that inspired you?
You need to put across your passion for the subject! For more help with writing your personal statement check out our blog post on the topic > https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7405512
Good luck!

i got 5 offers for spanish and german this year so here are some things i mentioned!
•
spending time abroad - i completed work experience and went to language school in germany but any time abroad is relevant
•
i spoke about translation and doing english lang a level for grammar knowledge - you could easily do something with your a levels as they are very well suited
•
any extra workshops or seminars you can attend e.g. i did one on hispanic literature and film, and another on bilingualism
•
a section on literature and i presume as you do english lit this would interest you
•
briefly mentioned my epq
•
work experience and volunteering
•
i play football and linked it to communication
•
importance of language learning
