I'm in year 9 and doing my GCSE's already, I did my SAT's last year. We did a practice french GCSE on friday and i've got 33 marks out of 50 or 40 so I think i've got a C atm.
But a GCSE in any language is good because when you're going for a job you will get priority over people who may have the same qualifications as you but not a gcse in a language so you will get the job.

I hated French, it was also my lowest grade. However, if you enjoy it and you are good at it - it's worth carrying it on. Not only does it open up opportunities in other countries it is a qualification that employers like the look of.

I think its pilots get 5grand a year extra or something if they have a gcse in another language or something.

Our school told us that if you choose a language then when your applying for a job, and your up against someone with similar skills etc, the one with the language qualification is more likely to get the job.

Also opens up options for a job if you ever moved abroad.

[whoooosh]

if you are good at french and enjoy it
do it
even if no one else is
it does really help if can talk another language
when hiring people for jobs its an advantage

The number of people taking languages is quickly slowing down... so it probably will start to stand out on your CV even more. If you like it and/or are remotely decent at a language, you should probably consider it.

I worked hard in German at GCSE level, and walked away with an A. The only part I didn't particularly like was the oral exam, but aside from that it was great. My old teacher was really supportive of us all, too.

I did GCSE French, and got a C It was the Listening that gave me greif, Oral was a piece of cake.

Less people in a class is better. I don't see the big fuss about knowing another language unless you're gonna live in that country but if it looks good then whatever.
