3 L. e o fo QQSQYQ we Languages open doors Many students like the idea of mastering a different lan- guage. Lincoln students that have taken a foreign language say that it is a fun experience to learn and to know the language and culture of a different country. Its not only the language you get out of it. You get a different perspective by getting to know the culture, and different ways of doing things such as eating, learning, and working, said one Lin- coln student. Some students enjoy spending time in a different country, to learn the language better. Sophomore Steve Ruffoni said, Traveling to a foreign country is really a great experience even if you don't know the language. When I went to Mexico I had taken 1 W years of Spanish already. I thought it would be easy to communicate with people, but it wasn't. The class- room work helped a little bit, but not much. I learned more from my experiences in Mexico than my experiences in class. The enviroment in a different country really helps a lot too, because there are signs and posters all over the place to read. lt is a real worthwhile experience to go to another country and to speak a different language. Head of the foreign language department, Norris Bean, says, The study of foreign language is important so that American people will be able to communicate with the rest of the world. Hopefully students studyinga foreign language will become more tolerant of other peoples and other cultures. As the whole world becomes smaller it is more and more important that Americans learn to communicate to other peoples by means of a language. ln order to sell American products overseas, which the United States must do to sur- vive economically, we must learn to speak the language of the countries to which we hope to sell our products. 226 Foreign Language
