Think of French, German or Spanish not as the foreign language for you, but rather as merely a second language. It is hoped that the language-learning skills acquired through the study of French, German, or Spanish at MHS will enable you to more readily pick up a third or fourth language later. This is a year course. French I is designed to acquaint students with the French language and culture. Students will be introduced to basic structures, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
Evaluation is based upon daily work, class participation and tests.
Class attendance is very important. This is a year course. French II begins with a review of material from French I. Speaking, understanding, reading and writing are further developed. Audio and visual cassettes as well as slides will be used to acquaint the student with France, the French people, and their customs. The student is expected to attend class consistently, complete any homework assignments, and participate orally both in small groups and in the class as a whole.
