"Hola Tim, thank you for your lovely e-mail. It was a pleasure to meet you too. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your business experience and enthusiasm with both the students and myself. The GCSE exam requires learners to apply their knowledge to real-life business examples and with teenagers having very little experience of the world of work, it is so very useful for them to get inside information about the running of businesses in different industries and markets. Thank you also for the useful links."

What surprised you most about the information discussed with Tim?

"How many job opportunities there are just because you know another language."

"That being a multi-language speaker can offer higher salaries."

"That GCSE languages can be helpful for lots of different careers that are not always related to a language."

"How barely any time can result into 500 words in any language you want."

"That some talented people who were more than worthy of the job didn't get it because they couldn't speak another language."
