Is there anyway for an adult to study for a french, italien or spanish qualification? Its a possible future accounting path. I didnt take any languages at GCSE or A level:001_unsure:

YMMV, but your local college probably runs part-time language courses for absolute beginners. My local one offers French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin for beginners, and many courses lead to qualifications of some type or other.

But the older you are (and that's old as in 15+), the harder it is to learn new languages. I'm tone deaf, and so can't learn tonal languages like Mandarin at all.0 -
Likewise, my local college offers a full range of part-time language courses up to GCSE level.0

Yeah your best bet will be your local college either that or maybe distance learning via the net? Theyll send you all of the audio tapes and learn from home.....though that wouldnt be the best option for me!0

You may find your local library service has language learning materials too.0

That's my next goal. To learn japanese. Would love to work over there in the future sometime. Have you heard of rosetta stone ? Its a computer based course. I don't think there is a qualification at the end of it, but this might give you a great grounding on starting a course. How would you fit it in with revising/studying ? That's the problem I'm struggling with at the moment.lol.0

My local college does language courses but they dont lead to a qualification?
If say i wanted to be an italian speaking accountant, would the language need to be down on my CV as a qualification e.g. gcse, nvq, or will it be ok just putting down that i attended and completed perhaps a 36week course?0 -
Most local college courses are aimed at "getting by" on holidays, but they are a good starting place, the business language and/or conversational language are very different, and if you don't use them you lose them, I did a Level french and german a few years ago, but I wouldn't say I could speak either of them well now.0

Ive seen from job advertisements accountants who can speak another language can earn a lot0 -

Good point. The only one I can't speak loosely based on the English language is Scouse but that's no loss.0
