What can language learning do for me?
Why might it be important for YOU to learn another language? • You have enjoyed some or all of what you have learned in Y7-Y9 and would like to continue developing your ability to speak French or Spanish • It helps to improve your interpersonal skills • You develop an empathy for people from different cultural backgrounds • Develops your confidence • Improves problem-solving skills • It will make your CV stand out from the crowd. • It shows employers that you have the ability to master another language e.g. Arabic , Farsi or Mandarin in the armed services
