Secondary School Third Languages

xxjustakidxx:
What year are you and what keeps you going? Which language are you doing?jtoh:
How many of your children are still taking 3rd language at the end of Year 1? I know a lot of kids have dropped it already.
Though i basically failed everything, i'm still doing -
My girl in Sec 1 this year has just submitted her letter of withdrawl from German, her third lang. She missed quite a few lessons during the YOG period and finds it hard to catch up with the class. Though I was quite disappointed, we still support her decision. I find that the school is also not very supportive in this area.

She's taken her final exams already? Will her grades be included in her final grade point computation? -

It's fun and you learn an extra language.. that doesn't count in your marks so it doesn't hurt to continue and fail. I think i should blame this to too little pressure on the other subjects? :\\xxjustakidxx:

To: JToh,
No, She didn’t take the exams, so 3rd lang will not be included in her final report. -
my daughter has the option of doing third language.
should I take it up?
any benefits besides learning a foreign language? -
My DH trying to tell dd not to ‘waste’ time studying 3rd language just for fun - she’s one who’s game to try anything but not a very good ‘finisher’. We prefer her to just concentrate on her HCL. She wants to do Japanese, French also can or even German since Daddy works in a German Company LOL! But Daddy says no need - they speak English too!

hey:]
i will be sec 4 next year and i'm still taking french at moelc
i would really encourage people to take third lang, because it is really useful & interesting
but true, the drop-out rate is quite high and maybe about 20% will drop it after the 1st year, then another 20% in the 2nd year.
but if you can persevere :] (esp. in memorising grammar for french] , you will be able to suceed! -
