James Young High School Modern Languages

What a fantastic experience we had at the Broadcroft Hotel 🇫🇷🇪🇸 S3 & Senior Phase pupils got to try some French delicacies and hear about chef Pascal’s ‘voyage’ and the importance languages have been for him and his work in hospitality 🥰 Merci beaucoup!

Well done to all our fabulous star pupils of the term!✨

We all enjoyed trying tapas (especially berenjenas con miel) and making looooots of conversation 💬

We’re so proud of the positivity and patience our lovely S3s have shown today as we’ve battled crazy traffic on our tapas restaurant trip 👏🏻🥰 A huge muchas gracias to @tapaedinburgh who were absolute estrellas ✨

Fantastic to hear Billy Gilmour talking about learning Italian after his move to Napoli with @acjimbo Main points being…it’s ok to make mistakes because people appreciate the effort! 🇮🇹 #learnalanguage #nnapulitano #jammja
