Take part in our foreign language quests, win some great prizes and find out more about learning and speaking another language.
Choosing your Key Stage 4 options can be a tricky business but one thing’s for certain; you want to make decisions that will bring lifelong benefits, interesting job opportunities, good earning potential and the chance to travel. A GCSE in a foreign language could help you to achieve that.
It’s easy to think that everyone speaks English these days but, in fact, 75% of the world’s population don’t speak any English at all. Also, only 6% speak English as their first language. The world is becoming a much smaller place and it’s hardly surprising that employers across the world are looking to recruit people who have the ability to speak another language. So skills you will learn at Key Stage 4 could be the key to an exciting and rewarding future.
Whether you see your career taking off at home or abroad, the facts speak for themselves – you’re in a stronger position with a language than without one. So when you are making your choices, use the opportunity to make yourself stand out in a multilingual world.
Foreign Language Quests
Every Monday for the next four weeks we will be launching a new Foreign Language Quest in which you will have to work out which language is being spoken by the bots and then translate their text to figure out what the special word is that you will need to enter the competition. Our first quest is already underway and you can begin it by visiting the Language Lab and saying the word Quest to the bot worker in the room.
We will be choosing five winners at random from everyone who enters with the correct answer and they will each win 50 Habbo Credits. To be in with a chance of winning, simply complete the quest and enter the special codeword in the form below. Don't forget to check back each Monday for the start of a new Foreign Language Quest!

I think it's more European languages. I'm expecting German, French, Spanish and possibly Italian.

I've never heard of learning Chinese/Japanese/Korean in schools.

Usually depends on what teacher can teach a particular language.

Only had German, Spanish & French in my school which is the most common languages in schools. Especially French :rolleyes:

What a stupid competition; nobody's going to learn and new languages from this, they will read the word that is said, go on a translator, translate it, and never do anything to do with languages in their school.

This is just going to encourage people to use translators and not learn anything....

Ive had that conversation with my IT teacher who is welsh, almost talked myself into a detention :P

Sounds like an original quest, how are you supposed to "work out" what language is being spoken if you dont know it though?

I applaud Habbo for taking these steps. Ok the quest itself won't help u learn a language, but hopefully it will give people the spark to start learning one.
I speak 7 languages and have learnt them all in schools and afterschool activities. Employers nowadays adore anyone who speaks a foreign language, and you will get so much more money if u do, as if they need someone to go overseas or speak with foreign people, theyll ask u.. hence more money :)
Remember guys.. for the future, the languages to learn are Chinese, Russian and Spanish ;) I'm working on them hehe
