Learning a foreign language is a useful skill in its own right; you can communicate with the ‘natives’ when you are abroad and that is very empowering. However, a language can also complement other subjects, whether science or arts-based, and this means that you can keep your options open for your future studies. You never know where life will take you; you might want to work abroad one day and knowledge of a language would help you; also, if you are fairly proficient in one language it is much easier to learn a second, or even a third! The A-level courses will give you a deeper understanding of ‘all things Spanish’. Not only will you learn more about the mechanics of the language - grammar, and vocabulary - but also about how people live and how they use language in their daily lives. With the new A-level specification students study either a book or a film produced by a Hispanic author and director.
