Introduction:

Some people support the idea that it’s impossible to make time for language learning within final academic year while others think that you can successfully blend language learning with your other commitments.

Conclusion:

 To conclude, although some people find it impossible to keep up with language learning during last year at school I still think there are many possibilities for incorporating your target language into your academic commitments. What is more, benefits don’t end with improved language acquisition. By combining your regular studies with language learning you’re finding new and interesting ways to retain information, thus benefitting both obligations with very minimal extra effort.
