Dinners, exchange students increase foreign language interest Learning a language takes time, doing vocabulary exercises and practicing a lot. Students at West could choose to study Latin, Spanish, or French. Ninth grade students came to the high school for first year classes. Part of learning a language is learning about the culture where that language is spoken. Spanish students got a boost in interest from two exchange students this year. Third year French students had dinners with French cuisine to heighten their acquaintance with the customs of France. A Latin banquet, togas and all, was a high point for Latin students.
