you will need a modern language to get into university

[Tortington]

was told at options evening last night.

so for your bog standard blaaa degree

do you need a gcse or a level in french?

no

i thought the teacher was full of shit.

obviously i didn't say that in the hall.

if you had done I hope you would have done it in a modern foreign language.

plein de merde

voll Scheisse

or something.

then UCAS would be beating a path to your door.

as modern foreigh language learning has plumetted because it isn't a compulsory subject this would be a bit of blow to the government trying to get more students to university

in my day they used to claim you had to have latin

I did but it wasn't true then either

This is not totally untrue. Universities will look favourably upon those who have studied a GCSE / A level in a Modern Foreign Language. I once had a pupil whose Cambridge entry form was queried as he had not studied a MFL at GCSE. After much discussion he was offered a conditional place. So, your teacher was not totally "plein de merde!"

aye - but we aint talkin cambridge for the majority and she did state it to the entire year as a fact.

but ta muchio xxxxxx

love you xxxx
