The Language of Romance Some students enrolled in the French classes with the idea of traveling to a foreign country during their junior or senior years. Some joined the class after hearing about the cultural observances. However, once they entered the room, none of this made any difference. Students were put to work, translating and learning t0 Speak this romance language. Some days were spent listening to and repeating the information on language education tapes. Students learned about the cultures and mannerisms of different countries. At the end of their one-four year study, students had greatly increased their knowledge of the French. Doing translations individually is a big part of any language class, and the French classes are no exception. Students worked on learning the language and customs of French speaking countries. Deciphering the French lessons for each day takes up much of Dacey Harmons time. 244f FRENCH CLASS -Mmm. 4
