Foreign languages

In Britain schools people learn French or German. In a few schools you can also learn Italian, Spanish or Russian. Not many people learn Latin now. All pupils must study one foreign language until they are 16. Schools usually organize school trips to France or Germany. Pupils travel in a group with their teachers. They stay in a hotel or they go camping.

Some schools have an exchange with another school in France or Germany. A group of pupils from the British schools goes to the exchange town. Each pupil has a partner and they stay with their partner’s family.They sometimes go to chool with their partner. Later in the year the pupils from France or Germany come to Britain and stay with their British partners. Exchanges are very useful, becouse you learn about daily life in another contry.
