We interviewed pupils from our community to get insights into how they feel about languages. Many thanks to everyone who took the time to answer our questions!

Why do you choose to study the language you’re studying?

1. I was born in Spain, so I was fluent in the language, but over time have lost my complete fluency and I really want to get it back.

2. To be able to travel to other countries and speak fluently.

3. It is very useful in the real world and it allows me to communicate with more people.

4. I enjoy the subject!

5. My mum speaks French.

1. It has been very rewarding and I really enjoy learning them, especially in class. I do, however, find Duolingo less useful nowadays. How would you describe your language learning journey so far? Have there been any significant changes in your approach to or perspective on language acquisition?

2. Great, challenging, I have developed an enjoyment around learning languages.

3. I have massively improved since the start of the year.

4. Learning a language is more than knowing words: it’s about forming a bond with the culture and people.

5. It has been slightly difficult because of the different ways used to express things, but overall I think it has been a great experience.

6. Lots of ups and downs.

7. Good but it’s hard.
