Survey about your French lessons (5th form) - 2014


             

             

Name (optional): 


  1. Why did you choose French at GCSE? (tick all that apply)
    Because I had to pick one language even though I don't like it
    Because I liked French in the lower school
    I chose to also do German/Spanish because I like languages
    Because I think languages are a useful skill to have
    I'd have liked to do more than just French but I didn't have enough option choices
    Because I thought French was easier / more widely spoken than German (or Spanish)
    If I had the choice, I wouldn't have done any languages at GCSE
    I often go to France on holiday so French is useful for me
