In this short video, final year student of French and German, Tamsin, shares her language learning story. She tells us why she chose to study languages - including how she started one from scratch at university - and what she hopes to do in the future. She also shares some highlights of her Year Abroad in Paris and Hamburg. 

The video was kindly filmed by Tamsin 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.
