North offers two languages-French and Lat- in. In such courses students learn grammar and the history, culture, and literature of these people. In French emphasis is placed on speaking, listen- ing, and understanding. Through the NDEA program materials and equipment have been purchased to fa- cilitate learning French correctly.
