Classes Stress Self-Expressio Fulfilling the foreign language require- ment for college-bound students, Alder offers Spanish. In order to have a well- rounded background of the language, students not only learn pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar rules, but they also begin to understand the customs and mannerisms of the people in Spanish-speaking countries.
