Language ,FIabla usted espanol? Parlez-vous franqais? Sprechen Sie Deutch? Dicisne linguam Latinam? For many students at Andrean the answer to this question is Si, yo hablo espanol. Oui, je parle franqais. Ja, ich spreche Deutch. Dico linguam Latinam. Andrean students may pursue either a modern or classical language. Grammar, pronunciation, and composition all serve a vital function in the study of Spanish, French, and German. Teachers often employ the use of tape recorders, visual aids, and records in order to improve these three skills. A student may also study Latin to further understand the “roots” of his own language. With any of these four foreign languages a student not only learns a second language but also gains insights into the cultural aspects of foreign life.
