It's pretty early but DD1 in Y7 has to choose which language to do as a second language in Y8. In Y7 the year is split into two streams doing French or German. Dd1 is in the German stream. In Y8 they can choose a second language from whichever one they didn't do, Russian or Latin.
Dd1 is keen on Latin, but it would mean she'd have to do German GCSE as she has to do a MFL. The school doesn't offer Latin A level which I feel is a bit limiting as she wouldn't be able to follow through on one of her A levels subjects, although could leave for 6th form.
She's not keen on Russian. I think French probably makes more sense but she likes ancient history and would have liked to learn Spanish, which isn't an option.
Would you choose a subject for GCSE that you knew you couldn't do for A level?
