My HONEST AS Level Experience: Languages (Spanish and German)

[@aurignyfrench9780]

I'm taking German, Spanish, English Language and Geography in September, so this video is so great as it covers both languages! I feel so much more confident after watching this, thank you!

[@tamarachioma]

I'm native German & learning English and Spanish and this video is so helpful! Danke❤☺

[@RevisionWithEve]

+Tamara Ug kein Problem! Ich hoffe, dass ich dir geholfen habe xxxxx

[@spongebobsquarepants478]

Revision With Eve you motivate me to do German for A-level as I didn't want to do it but you make it sound so Interesting.

[@luverlv]

Hi I'm Luis from Colombia. If you want to practice your Spanish please do it with me. This is my WhatsApp: [phone]

[@martincorrea5744]

I want to learn german, I'm a native Spanish speaker

[@hgriffithshlg]

Thanks so much for this Eve! I'm going German this year (yr 12) and I'm so nervous! I love languages and have always found them easy and then at GCSE I ended up getting a B in my writing even though all three of my pieces were predicted at A*. Thanks again x

[@hgriffithshlg]

💝

[@cherylcolerox100]

Yay, I'm so glad you want to do languages at university now! I just finished my first year at Oxford, doing French and Italian, and am loving the course :) If you need any advice on your application, I'm v happy to help!

[@RevisionWithEve]

+Madeline thank you!! I need all the advice I can get if you have any tips!

[@JaneB2000]

Madeline at uni do you know if you are able to study Italian from scratch? x

[@cherylcolerox100]

No worries! I could send you my personal statement if you like? Let me know if you have any specific questions, and I'll do my best to answer them!

[@cherylcolerox100]

Yes - a lot of universities offer ab initio courses for languages! x

[@nightsky5640]

Hey Madeline! I'm taking italian alevel. I was wondering if you had any good italian film/series recommendations? xx

[@miawannop2736]

I'm so excited to take Spanish as one of my A levels, I got an A at GCSE and am just so exited so thank you for this video ❤️

[@lottiecox6321]

I’m taking Spanish a level this year and I’m very worried everyone will be at a higher level than me and I will look stupid as I’m not that confident how has your experience Been?

[@sy8112]

@@lottiecox6321 this is how I feel about sociology 😅 I mean it's ok not to feel as confident as that's why the teachers are there to help us

[@elliemoss2916]

Eve you have no idea how much this has helped me out!! I have just enrolled to sixth form and I'm also doing two languages!! I'm doing french, Spanish, English literature and history!! You inspire me so much and your passion for languages really motivates me to work hard!!💛❤️✨

[@LondonLadybug]

Ellie Moss Exact same A level subjects as me! Hope you enjoy them as much as I did x

[@florencebrady9323]

Found this so helpful as I've recently changed my GCSE options in order to take both German and Spanish. I was worried about finding German too hard and getting confused between them both, but this has reassured me, so thank you! X

[@charlb85]

I’ve been a subscriber for 2 years or so, and have just started my german Alevel, it’s been a massive shock! But it’s nice to be able to see what to expect!

[@theuliana7304]

Omg.. 9 moths later I’ve realized that you said that you “dropped Russian” (1:16).. I am Russian and I love your viiddds!

[@amylouise3088]

[@annabudden124]

Thanks this is so helpful. I’m doing my GCSE’s atm. I’m doing French and Spanish (I used to do Mandarin as well but I dropped) this video has helped me to decide to do French and Spanish for a level 💓💓

[@francescabowler9797]

Are you starting a levels this year? I’m scared about taking both languages

[@Jellybabyemz]

I have my first Spanish A-Level lesson tomorrow!

[@megamm5191]

Emily Eldridge ¡Suerte!

[@darnellyiadom3596]

How would you go about learning languages by yourself without help from school?

[@charliefloral1561]

Download Duolingo and Tinycards and work from there! Get some grammar workbooks also

[@darnellyiadom3596]

Charlie Louise Thanks

[@charliefloral1561]

No problem ✨ What language are you planning on learning?

[@darnellyiadom3596]

Charlie Louise Dutch and German, I already know quite a bit of Dutch and German is similar so I thought why not

[@charliefloral1561]

Good luck ✨ I'm doing French in school and Japanese at home x

[@Mary-jv2fx]

Okay so I have to make a decision between French and History for A-level. I've really struggled with French over the course of my GCSEs due to a poor teaching department and the GCSE reformation but then I got a tutor who really helped and gave me a passion for the language. So, I started working so much harder for French and ended up with an 8 but I got a 9 in history (which I find pretty boring). Grades are really important to me but that's not to say I wouldn't do well in French but I guess what I'm trying to say is I really don't know what to take!!

[@diamondsaf5064]

Mary Mitchell if you find history boring I suggest you go with French. It is really important to enjoy your a level subject and history has tons of reading, so you may find it harder to revise. :) I'm doing French in year 12 now and was considering taking history instead, but I think I'm sticking with French. Hopefully it will be okay haha

[@Hana.J_57]

What did you end up taking lol?

[@floraice11]

I start the IB on Monday and your revision videos have been a big help in getting me in the mood for studying so thank you!!!

[@Em-eo4qf]

I'm so sad, I was going to take French at A-level, but I want to do medicine at uni and everyone basically said 'You won't get in if you do that' so now I'm doing maths instead which makes me want to cry but I really want to get into uni. I'm gonna continue learning French on my own though so it's fine

[@RevisionWithEve]

+SparklyTrash so many of my medicene pals take a subject that's not science and maths, if anything it makes you more attractive to employers!

[@anyapoundall7241]

SparklyTrash I'm about to go into Year 10 and I would like to do medicine at university, I think I want to do maths, biology, chemistry and spanish at a-level though, and I've seen videos wheee people say 'only take the subjects that they want, they are more likely to accept people with all the sciences and maths rather than a humanity or language' which threw me off, but apparently as long as you can explain why your choice was relevant to medicine (e.g you want to work in another country) it's ok?double check but I'm feeling the same as you because I love Spanish and I would really like to continue it at a-level!!

[@Em-eo4qf]

Anya Poundall yeah that sounds fine, it's just because I'm doing psychology too so I would only have had two sciences. You only really need two, but three makes life a lot easier, so you'll be alright

[@toluatilola6412]

Really late reply but for anyone reading: for the vast majority of med schools, you only need bio and chem (for some you only beed chem) - literally only cambridge want three sciences/maths. I do French a level (along with bio and chem) and I just got accepted for Medicine at Oxford

[@izzymurrell8723]

Ich bin in den zehnten Klasse und ich habe Deutsch als GCSE ausgewählt. Für mich ist es unbegreiflich, dass man ein zwanzig Minuten lang sprechen Prüfung machen und einen Film / ein Buch studieren muss. Es scheint stressig, dass man einen Aufsatz schreiben muss. Wie lang ist es? Wie viele Punkten ist der Aufsatz wert? Aber, es ist ausgezeichnet, dass du Deutsch trotzdem ausgewählt hast. :) sicher ist deine Lehrerin stolz auf dich wegen deiner guter Noten :))))

[@mariusbond9859]

Wie lange lernst du schon Deutsch?

[@ashtailor385]

thank you so much eve for all the help with languages!!! i'm still shook about my mandarin gcse!! honestly idk how i can show my gratitude ♥

[@magdalenaairi2260]

i love this series and hearing about your experience

[@mendeseu2201]

Yasssss eve the video I have been waiting for!

[@hi-dn3uj]

I loved Spanish so much and I was getting a's and a*'s but for my gcse results i got c😤im really disappointed and think that the grading system is rigged.

[@beth7456]

MAHDIEH that happened to me with English lit! I was gutted!

[@Ethan-qm9qt]

Try getting it remarked. You never know

[@jordanjackson8105]

MAHDIEH oh my god this was me with French. I was getting A*'s all year and my Controlled Assessments were graded at a mid B! I did not vomit the subjunctive, imperfect and taught myself the past conditional for a B overall. Still doing French at A-Level though 😂

[@kasiazablocka]

this was me too!! constant a's and a*'s in reading and listening but only a B in reading and a D in listening?? thankfully my coursework saved me so i got an overall B but i'm so heartbroken bc I was hoping for an A :((((

[@AS-oz4nk]

That happened in history with me, but in Spanish, the marking is really specific, so the answer could be right but they can't accept it

[@tara5047]

Russian would be a really cool language to learn!! Our school does Mandarin but I didn't carry it on because it was impossibly difficult XD

[@isabelladeacon815]

definitely gonna use these tips for when I start Spanish at college in September! also I'm pretty sure the teacher I'm gonna have is Spanish so hopefully that will help like it did for you in german!!

[@redrosejfjdjfkdj]

Thanks so much for this Eve it was so useful !! I will be doing French and Spanish (and Psychology) for A Level and I'm really looking forward to it. I've have always loved languages too and did 3 of them for GCSE! Your passion for languages really motivates me to work hard at them whilst making them seem fun at the same time xx

[@gd4761]

Sashaa1501 that's the exact same combo as I did, I just got A in French B in Spanish (meant to be an A but I had a shit teacher) and C in Psychology

[@redrosejfjdjfkdj]

Gem Gem ah well done! I don't know anyone else doing the same as me so that's cool :)

[@jessicajaden]

wow eve you have been on it with the uploads lately !!! 💝

[@b.i.c.violet4545]

Yesterday i went to enrole at the college for music level 3 (not 2 cause my results were better then expected 😋). My dream is closer and closer!!!! I was basically the best in the class at french ( cause i learned english in like 2 years when moved to UK) Next is: • learning a little bit more french • learn spanish cause i like it • learn japanese cause I'm an anime nerd and became interested • maybe italian at the end if i feel like it All on my own on an app.... just because.

My native language is Spanish, but I’m learning German and English at school. Sometimes I feel bad cause my school is a German school. And I don’t feel that I take enough advantage of that due that I only focus most on the English language.

[@thanujahsivakumaran9971]

omg you are literally my spirit animal!!! i just finished gcses and also doing two languages (French and Spanish) at a-level and what to do languages at uni!! would love if you could you tell me what work books you use for languages and any other resources xxx

[@onlyproblemmm]

Thanujah Sivakumaran if you find out, let me know!!!!

[@redrosejfjdjfkdj]

Eve made a video before on languages and said she uses AQA grammar workbooks but obviously get the right one for your exam board if it's different! I ordered mine (for French and Spanish) from Amazon x

[@lucianshepherd1326]

Also, Schaum french and Spanish grammar books are brilliant.

[@lucianshepherd1326]

I have them and they are so useful. Tons of exercises and explanations too.

[@AngelKittenKat]

💝 Hi Eve! I'm doing a foreign language for A-Level and have to read and analyse a book this year a bit like you would in English lit. Do you have any tips on how to read in another language and keep on top of vocab, how much you should look up and write down to learn, how to make notes to study it etc?

[@rebekahmcfetridge6097]

YEEESSS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS VIDEO

[@fayekennedy3759]

Yessss I was hoping for one of these bc I'm unsure about taking Spanish next year!💝💝💝💝

[@B1ueScorpion]

I've decided to do French and despite getting an A* in my GCSE I don't know if i'm going to be capable, like it takes me hours to compose only 100 words - please someone tell me it gets easier!

[@cflood2875]

I got an A at French GCSE and managed to get an A at A Level as well. Honestly, I found it incredibly difficult at first to the point where my teacher advised me to drop it, but it seriously gets easier! You naturally pick up the language and before you know it you're able to write essays and speak so much more fluently. This is coming from a student who did not find it easy at a level in the slightest. Stick with it and you'll see yourself improve so much! :)

[@onlyproblemmm]

LouiseMay I got an A at french GCSE as my coursework was marked down😭 but I'm also starting A-Level French this year and am worried about it too!!! if you wanted to talk, drop me a message on Instagram @Morg4nleigh or twitter @violxtstorms and we can talk french and discuss!!!

[@libbberty]

I got an A* at GCSE and managed an A at A Level! You will be so surprised at how much you pick up with more frequent lessons - remember you're probably doing 2 or 3 timetabled hours a week at GCSE, and it's many more in sixth form. It definitely wasn't an easy option but compared to other subjects it's so rewarding as you're learning an actual skill rather than just facts you'll forget after exams. You'll be fine! Best of luck x

[@gd4761]

LouiseMay it does get easier, just know your grammar and listen to your teachers. I just got an A overall in French a level

[@lovincracker9460]

LouiseMay I'm in exactly the same situation wondering if A* gcse means anything I'm literally terrified

[@lcfcsince2016]

Hello Eve! Five years late, eh? I am in year 12 and I really like Spanish so far, it's broader than it was at GCSE and I think it's very helpful for a career in the legal sector. Thanks for your helpful video hun 💜👏👏

[@angelstarfire]

8:24 how she revised for her speaking

[@lauzia6098]

insane that you’re now in spain, probably practising your spanish

[@JanetSuzanne]

I did A-level French which I loved at GCSE (and AS was okay) but we didn't have our French Assistant in A2 because our school didn't have "enough funds" to keep her, which I think I didn't do as well in my A2 speaking which was really disappointing! I still passed but it was not the grade I wanted (and somehow I still managed to get into uni!)

[@rumaisa3123]

what kind of job are you hoping to do? and how do you think having a degree in languages will tie into it? ☺️

[@ResemeeC]

I dropped Spanish at the end of 1st year. Didn't even get an AS level because I dropped it two weeks before the end of the year. I love Spanish. I'm good at it and I love everything about it and learning about the Spanish speaking world. Unfortunately, my course was organised pretty shittily and I want to do physics so it's irrelevant. Also, there's no fucking resources for the new spec which is SO different from the old one so I couldn't even use the last spec (I'm same yr as you). Eugh it upsets me so much that I gave it up but tbh it was for the best and if I continued onto A level (can't do this any more because I didn't do all the progression tests) I wouldn't do very well 😢😒

[@ResemeeC]

Got a B though without revising on the tests I actually did do

[@matthewdogelio1364]

Would you consider yourself having reached the C2 level for both German and Spanish? Or you're not quite there yet? 😃

[@Ginasprinkleofglitte]

I honestly have not been in England long enough to know that you have to go to sixth form and then you go to university and honestly I'm still a bit confused all I know is you take your GCSE and then you go sixth form and after you go to uni? Or is there another test happening in SF or unit? Anyways I'm enjoying the video very much❤I would love if you did another revise with me, I honestly enjoy watching your videos so much so Thank you for taking time out of your day to upload this x

[@Alisa-lr9uc]

Gina Blake so in secondary school (year 7-11) we basically prepare for GCSEs in our final year and then after that we either go to sixth form or college (year 12-13) where we do a levels which get you into university where you do your degree

[@Alisa-lr9uc]

And there is another test in sixth form in the first year which is AS which is like the first half of the topics of the a level course

[@Ginasprinkleofglitte]

Alisa Thank you so much for clearing everything up♡

You don't have to go to uni?? I think the legal requirement is only education up to age 17/18

I honestly have no idea on what to do at A Levels, I already picked my GCSEs at random because I literally had no interest in any of them nor would I have fun in the lessons so I just chose the ones that would benefit me.
