Languages Evening

Over 130 linguists showcased their skills with a soirée of language-inspired sketches, music, poetry and merriment in Waterlow Hall.

All pupils at South Hampstead study either French, German, Mandarin or Spanish in Year 7, as well as Latin, adding a second Modern Language in Year 8 and Year 9; every student continues to study at least one modern language to GCSE, with several continuing to A Level and beyond. Each year, our students stage an evening of multilingual performances, putting their language-learning into practice in front of family and friends.  This year’s show transported the audience around the world in 80 minutes, featuring French poetry, Spanish songs, German sketches and Mandarin playlets. Merci/gracias/Vielen Dank/谢谢 to all our language students for such an entertaining evening.
