Really interesting article on the Telegraph about the benefits of language learning here:
www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationopinion/10126883/Why-learn-a-foreign-language-Benefits-of-bilingualism.html
(Sorry can't link from phone!)
I did a language degree and two languages to a levels, and am forever spouting on about how brilliant it was for my wider skill set. I honestly believe I'm a better communicator in my native tongue because of the other languages I've learnt.
Just though I'd share - I'd love modern foreign languages to be compulsory at GCSE so this is right up my street!
