So due to school work and exams I've been neglecting language studying [which pretty much defeated the purpose of this blog] but I'm back now with a whole quatre of a year before university starts to study languages.
I've applied to study Chinese and Linguistics at Edinburgh university but my conditions to get in are tough so I'm not sure if I did well enough in my exams to secure a place on the course. If not then I'll hopefully be going to Stirling university to study French and Spanish with Latin Amercan studies. I don't really know that much Spanish and the majority of the Spanish that I do know is thanks to my better knowledge of French and Portuguese. If you have any background with Spanish [educational or otherwise] then you can start a more advanced course in first year of university so I'll hoping to use a good part of my time these three months getting my Spanish up to higher grade level [equivalent of AS level in England I think] which should allow me to pass the test to get into the advanced course come mid September. To achieve this, I'm going to start off using 'Basic Spanish' by Routledge publishers and then the website spanish.about.com whilst using this blog to list my progress and hopefully encourage me to learn more.
I'll still be learning Chinese incase I get accepted into Edinburgh, Japanese and French and now I might start learning some Russian since I got a good stack of 5 books on Russian off ebay.
