gcse choices please help

Hi
I am going into year 10 soon and I am conflicted in choosing my languages.
I am debating between french gcse or chinese. I am fluent in chinese and i can read speak and listen but I struggle with writing. for french i am year 9 level, but i am interested in the language and think it will be helpful to learn it for the future. If i choose chinese, would it be an easy 9?
which one should i choose. thanks so much.

Hi,
Some schools, if you're fluent, offer you to do your native/fluent language so long as you want to and will revise for it yourself. This means you can do both French and whichever Chinese language you know. They can submit you as a candidate and you sit the exams the exam board offers, and then you get a free GCSE.

Hope this helps

Hi, thanks so much, but I dont want to take 2 languages because it takes up time and I have other subject preferences so I am trying to save as much time as possible with language subjects whilst still considering my future. In this case should i do french or chinese? thanks again.

Well, if you are fluent it wouldn't take up much time since you wouldn't have to maintain it since you know it to that high level.
Choice is yours
