Aloha all. Obviously i'm new here, but I've seen the standard of posting and thought that this was a good place to come for help...
I'm in year 10 and am taking French early this year. I've had my oral (no jokes please), but in my revision run-up, a teacher came into my class to try and persuade us to take a one-year crash-course in Italien. However the other option is to take a Society of Linguists post GCSE course, with a diploma at the end. I'm a perfectly able linguist and would be fine with doing either course, however i just wanted to know your views on use in later years.
1. take Italien and get a relitively easy A or A* and another GCSE. But will another GCSE really impress future employers, Unis, etc. ?
2. take italien and prove that i'm such an able learner i can achieve a new language at A or A*in just 1 year.
3. take italien, because it's useful to have in future (possible) European business.
4. take italien, because it'll be a change from boring French and could be of use for a holiday or 2.
5. take the post GCSE, because this diploma thing they are offering me is quite respectable.
6. take the post GCSE, because it'll set me in a far better stead for AS French.
personally i'm leaning towards doing the Italien, but only because it's the language of love, quite cool and a change. I believe that my ability allows me to still do AS French after the Italien course, should i want to take it!
I know i'm in way over my head, but the form has to be in for monday.
Any clear advantage in doing one or the other?!
muchos thanks guys. (i like the spanish tinge in my entrance post :))

I'm in Year 13 (which is Year 12 to you English hoves).
Lower Sixth. AS year. Yar.
I'm not saying I'm right, just offering my line of thought on the matter.

Are you in school (what year), Uni, or an employer?
I think doing Italian would be better, because:
1) There's nothing abnormal about going from a GCSE course to AS in a subject, in fact, that's what IS normal so you shouldn't have any problems in that respect.
AND
2) Showing high competence in two languages would probably look better than extremely high competence in one and none at all in another.
But then again, what the hell do I know?

Balls!
An art teacher corrupted me last year. Confusing me when i had to comment on some artist. she suggested the right way, fine. But I only did it wrong once, so i thought she was commenting on the majority and now i think that "italian" is wrong.
If you believe me :D

I'm just being helpful - if you're going to learn Italian you might as well learn to spell the word correctly in English first...
thanks, but...
BECAUSE?
