Spanish
Spanish is an academic subject that opens doors, broadens the mind and offers an insight into other countries and cultures. In our multi-cultural society there’s never been a better time to learn a foreign language such as Spanish. The main benefits of learning a language are: enhanced job opportunities/salary and it improves your CV, improves opportunities for sixth form and higher education, improves memory and brain function – allowing you to perform better in other academic subjects. You also improve your English -learning a foreign language draws your focus to the mechanics of language: grammar, conjugations, and sentence structure. This makes you more aware of language, and the ways it can be structured and manipulated. These skills can make you a more effective writer and help improve your English GCSE grade.
