Good Luck to our year 12 contestants Tommy, Audrey, Seb and Che this Friday as they debate diversity and environmental impact in German with other schools across the UK and Ireland. @GI_London1

Languages aren’t just school subjects - they’re keys to connection. Portuguese got me breakfast first in Cascais, Spanish saved a New York taxi fare, and Albanian made me feel local in Pristina. Another language creates opportunities and leads to moments you never anticipated.

[Christopher Hughes MBE @chrislinguist]

Huge congratulations to everyone celebrating an A Level in a language today! Whether it’s French, German, Spanish, Mandarin or more, you’ve opened doors to new places, people & opportunities you can’t yet imagine. Languages enrich life & give you advantages that last a lifetime.
