Foreign Language Greater Understanding of a Complex World The language courses offered at Mona Shores enrich the minds of all who participate and the programs are also most valuable to college preparatory students. This year the language department added a second year of German to its curriculum. By supplementing lessons with motion pictures, the French, Spanish, and German classes, gained a better understanding not only of the language, but of the people of the country they are studying. The language labs, through the utilization of tapes and records, enable students to hear their mistakes and to learn from them.
