I learn Spanish and it's pretty good. I've been learning it for around 5 years and I've learnt quite a lot. It's good if you're going to Spain or the place which you know how to speak the language of.

I type properly, as I find it easier, as I type god-knows how many essays, and having two styles of typing is annoying. It also improves your English Writing technique, and is easy to read.

of course it's not pointless.

if you have a gcse in a language other than english then you're more likely to get accepted because you're multi-lingual.

it's a great gcse to have.

Most school subjects are well thought out. Modern languages, when you get a qualification in a language it prooves that you can keep things in your long term memory, History prooves you can get information from bare sources, English shows you can examine text very carefully, show your oppionions well, and be a good public speaker. If it was pointless then it wouldn't be a requirement . I WANT to learn fluent French, it's great talking to people so that others can't understand, and speak to people from other cultures :p.

Are you serious? You can't depend on everyone else to speak your language. That's just ignorance; you should at least attempt to speak their language.

I always hear, "Why are we doing this? I'm never going to go to Germany when I'm older." - I'm sure they aren't psychic. When it comes down to it, employers are looking for multilingual applicants. In some fields of work, e.g. clerical, you can get paid up to 20&#37; more with a qualification in another language than without.

Personally I think you should lay off mate, I think he's winning :rolleyes:

In our school it's awful. We're choosing GCSEs atm, and guess waht? The policy is that we have to do a modern language. So basically, for me, it's only three options... And German. However, it's a small price to pay for the second best State School in the country! (Shows off)

Tbh, i dont want to learn a foriegn language, call me ignorant or whatever but most counties these days have people that can speak English so its pointless me learning theirs.
