Learning languages

Just watching a news segment on kids learning language at school and they show some kids learning "manderin"

I do wonder how relevent that would be to when they grow up ? but with china growing industrially etc, then why not .

Should the languages taught in schools try and reflect the opening of the world to all ? or stick to the normal "french,spanish,german" etc ?

Many kids wont ever use the second one learnt and it will soon be forgotton .

I do sometimes wonder where they would find the teachers to do the more extreme ones ?

Oooooo this is quite deep for 7.30 am aint it

i think its a great idea to languages relevant in schools, maybe as an extra in the later years of high school, as you pointed out china is a world leader in some industries could potentially be very advantagious to speak mandarin

i was taught latin and gaelic (irish) and now barely no either!

Arabic would be useful to learn

My kids aren't doing any languages at the moment, they're still KS1

Other countries actually start learning foreign languages from 7! By the time they are in high school they are fluent. Maybe some lessons to be learnt there ?

From this year all 7 year olds+ will be taught a second language. Scholls must teach one of the compulsory three, french, german and I can't remember the third. Mandarin is also an option but not a compulsory language.

The problem being not many schools have a language specialist for that age group. We are way behind the rest of Europe when it comes to second languages. Hell some have trouble with English as their first language.

I had 7 yrs of learning french and was quite good but never used it enough to benefit so lost the main use. I can still hold me own when at the french market but i do get strange looks
