School offer French or German in Y7 & 8 and then in Y9 students can choose to pick up Spanish or French or German. However, they get two periods a week for language whether they are doing one or two. DS, Y8, enjoys German and has found it quite easy (so far!) and is considering this as a GCSE. Languages department encourage taking up the second language and say this does not hinder their learning, and indeed can help but then they would say that as they are, like many language departments, desperate to increase their numbers of GCSE and A Level pupils. But can doing half the time really not make any difference?
