As our future bi and tri-linguists have dis- covered, an appreciation of cultural back- grounds is of vital value to language study. An acquaintance with the life and literature of early Rome is commenced in Latin I with the valuable vocabulary and intricate sen- tence structure, is continued in Latin II with Caesar's military tactics, is further developed in Latin III with renowned Ciceronian ora- tions and is climaxed in Latin IV with Virgil's description of the fabulous founding of Rome. Beneficial records, rendering techniques of pronunciation and presenting French litera- ture and music, lend a helping hand to book learning in this challenging three-year language course. Correct grammatical construction en- hanced by singing of folk songs and reading of fables in German I, and satisfactory speech encouraged by habitual recitation and literary reading in German II, opens the door to an understanding of German culture.
