I hope you are well … Sorry that I haven’t written in a while, but recently school has become REALLY stressful. We had lots and lots of exams, so that meant lots of studying and little free time for me, definitely not my favourite order. On top of everything else, we have to make a really important decision: we have to decide the foreign language we are going to start studying from next year on. We can choose between German, French and Spanish. What about you? 1 Do you like one of those languages more than the others? My mum thinks I should choose French because I already know a little German, and she can teach me more she says. I don’t know if this is such a great idea. My friends at school say that French is really hard, and that Spanish is a lot more fun. But I feel quite motivated to learn more German … 2 Anyway, I’m really nervous because it’s my first foreign language and I don’t know how to study a language!!! 3 I really need your help, I’m getting quite desperate!
