In terms of practicality German is not as useful as say Spanish or even French. Did you choose it because its similar to Afrikaans? I completed high school Economics and Business Management last year a year early. The former was awesome but the later was bullshit.

i agree with Pdog, I'd rather take Spanish or French. German is a far more limited language in terms of places where you can use it.

So I am thinking of doing IGCSE's independantly to supplement my regular school here in S.A. but the standard here is really shit compared to western countries. I'm aiming to do A levels as well eventually.
So I was wondering what subjects do you think I should take?
I have to take atleast 7 subjects across the following areas :

Group I: Languages
Group II: Humanities and Social Sciences
Group III: Sciences
Group IV: Mathematics
Group V: Creative, Technical and Vocational
2/7 subjects have to be languages.
Here are the subjects offered :

I'm thinking of taking these subjects:

I'm not 100% sure of accounting, business studies and economics though.
Thoughts?
In this order:
Spanish (vast #/girls)
Russian (girls)
Mandarin (vast #s/economy)
German, French (same level)
Arabic, Japanese
Though I didn't follow this this advice 100%, as I started with German and will be skipping Spanish (temporarily) for Russian, for my assault of the FSU in 2014. It is just my recommendation, when starting from scratch.
