French.

Planning on introducing Spanish when the French is well established. (I'd have gone for Spanish first, but am following the strongly stated preference of the learners involved)

Mine are older now but they all tried, in varying degrees, French, Spanish and Latin. DD also tried German.

Exams: DS1 did Latin GCSE and AS (and did A level French at sixth form without having done the GCSE); DS2 did Spanish GCSE as an evening class; DD did French GCSE as a private candidate along with 2 friends.

My 7yo is working his way through the CGP Spanish workbooks. I chose Spanish because it was my favourite language at school & the one I felt most able to help with. The CGP books come with a CD which helps with any pronunciation I've forgotten.

We have a fluent German speaker in our extended family so I have plans for DS to pick that up at some point & ask our relative to write letters & correct letters that DS writes, as well as conversing in German. I've never studied German though so that's going to be trickier for me. It's fine though, no-one can know everything & it's fun to learn new things together!

Spanish via an online school

French Spanish and Chinese.

Although we are very informal and mostly only spoken on French and Spanish (which dh and I are both fluent in) and only do the Chinese formally (with an online tutor).

Why the Hmm face?

French and Latin at the moment (but to a level much higher than they would be were they in school). Next year we'll add Spanish and German to the mix. They won't bother doing GCSEs in any of them because I think the MFL GCSE syllabus is mostly a waste of time. Should they need to prove their proficiency, they'll probably do a more demanding exam.

Elder child Latin, working towards GCSE.
He has done a bit of French.

Younger child French. We'll start Latin with him next year.

Why do you want to know if you don't home ed? Hmm

And why are people just answering without asking this first?Confused

Saw this in Active. A friend's child was at a comp and wanted to do French but wasn't able to with the other subjects she studied. She studied the French at home with her mum, with no help from the school and got an 8. Same as her sibling who'd studied it at school. Now doing it at A level

MartineDubreuil · 14/10/2019 10:37

I too thought the Hmm was very odd. Hopefully the op will be back to explain
