None but think that they should be on the syllabus from primary.

why?

we speak a language that everyone speaks (or wants to) so we could concentrate on other things of more importance

Kizzy 16-05-2015 01:51 PM

It broadens peoples horizons giving our yoof the chance to look beyond this godforsaken island.

I can read french and some spanish but not speak it

Daniel-X 16-05-2015 03:21 PM

I got an A in my GCSE French.

I clicked Spanish also by accident

jennyjuniper 16-05-2015 03:26 PM

I can speak Danish, read Swedish and understand Norwegian. I used to speak quite a lot of Greek when I worked on a Greek cruise ship, but I've forgotten most of it. However as the lifeboat drills were always spoken in Greek first, I've never forgotten the phrases 'All crew to lifeboats' and 'All crew abandon ship'.
I would like to learn Spanish as it's a beautiful sounding language and also latin, because one day I might find myself in the Vatican archives!! Well I can dream can't I?

AYLA 18-05-2015 10:40 PM

I'm of the opinion that we should be taught grammar classes from a young age so that 1) we don't have a nation full of morons who can't spell and 2) that if, when you're a little older (teens, early 20s) you fancy learning a foreign language, it isn't a total wasteland of grammar rules that are totally alien. It would make language learning so much easier and it would mean that kids aren't forced into studying French and/or German (which is clearly based on 1900s logic of what's important in the world) at the age of 12 with little to no understanding of what they're supposed to be learning - most language teaching is basically just repetition exercises so that kids learn how to pass exams, not actually think about the construction of the sentences they're trying to form.
