Other Classical Languages

Course summary

These courses are primarily aimed at beginners, with a real desire to learn a new language, perhaps from a different linguistic family to those studied in the past. The main focus is on learning how to communicate and understand the language in everyday situations. Students also explore aspects of the target-language culture such as food, leisure, customs and traditions. The course will examine topics that include: the individual in society, education and work, town and services, food and drink, leisure and travel, the environment, health and emergencies. * Due to the level of difficulty, Mandarin Ab Initio is only open to students who have already attained GCSE grade A, or equivalent.
