What languages did you do at school?

Spanish for me

French and Spanish GCSE, then French at A level

Technically, we were supposed to do French. However, I was in a "naughty" class who seemed to make it a mission to get the teacher to leave the classroom in tears. I bet that she was glad to see that back of most of the class! Unfortunately, I didn't learn very much French, so didn't care to do it for GCSE.

If I'd known that I would eventually grow up and move to Wales, I'd have preferred to do Welsh, which I continue to persevere with as an adult! It is very tricky, mainly because of the grammar and mutations. A work colleague joked that the language was made that way to keep the pesky English invaders from knowing what the Welsh were on about 😁

Latin, French, German, Italian and Russian. Am now a professional linguist. Languages should definitely be compulsory again, they are so important.

French and Latin. I liked both. I wish I'd done German too.

Latin, French and German. Latin is immensely useful in linguistics, spelling etc. Fluent in French - well C1-ish (the French always think I am Canadian, which is kind of a compliment I think?), German is B1.
But learning languages at school ignited a passion in languages so I can also get by in Spanish, Swahili and Swedish (all the Ss for no particular reason); and I am actively learning Japanese and Greek. Also have Portuguese to a B1/B2 level, depending on the situation (my business Portuguese is rubbish, my social Portuguese is good - especially bebidas e comidas!).

German, French and 1 year of Latin.

French, German, Latin GCSE and French A level
