In this short video, final year student of French and German, Alexa, shares her language learning story. She tells us why she chose to study languages, how it fits in with her interest in different cultures, and what she hopes to do in the future. She also shares some highlights of her Year Abroad in Nice and Salzburg. 

The video was kindly filmed by Alexa in 2023 as part of a joint project on the benefits of language learning for the City of Edinburgh Council and the University of Edinburgh. It is only for use by teachers and other educators working with young language learners in schools.
