Strangely in France you don’t have a frog in your throat when you have a croaky voice, it’s a cat (un chat dans la gorge).

Employability: give yourself the edge. This is what a top employer said he is looking for in a new employee:
- Social skills
- Communication skills
- Problem solving skills
- Confidence
- Experience
- Open mindedness
- Flexibility
Learning languages gives you these skills. Speaking another language makes you stand out from the crowd. Pupils explore the similarities and differences between English and another language and learn how language can be manipulated and applied in different ways. The development of communication skills, together with an understanding of the structure of language, lay the foundations for future study of other languages and support the development of literacy skills in a pupil’s own language.
