Modern Foreign Languages

You will have to choose one of the following Modern Foreign Languages next year: (French, Portuguese, Mandarin).

Remember the following:

• As you progress through your education at school, a modern language will be of benefit to your personal and educational development in a variety of ways.
• It will allow you to establish contact with people of your own age who speak other languages and to access information from other cultures.
• It will help you to understand that experience of the world through another language can be just as 'real' and 'valid' as experience of the world through Spanish or English.It will offer you the positive experience of developing an entirely new mode of understanding and expression.
• Keep in mind that you will have to show commitment at all times throughout the learning process.

Good luck in your choice!
