DD is planning to take German GCSE and has to choose between French or Latin. She really likes both and it's quite likely she'll do a language at A-level. Are there advantages to either subject? Obviously French is more useful in day to day life. The Latin class size will be smaller, which I think she would like. She also enioys Maths, English, Art. Not that interested in History so unlikely to use Latin there. Is there anything else to consider to help choose between the two?

Is she thinking of doing anything medical in the future ?

Latin won't have an oral element, obviously.
