    This class is a one semester introductory class to the languages of the World.  By the end of the class, students will choose what language they want to take in high school.  In this class we spend about one month learning basics of:

    • Spanish
    • French
    • Japanese
    • We cover a bit of German and our local language Salish!
    • As of right now, only Spanish and French are offered at Shadle Park HS in-person.  Students can opt to take other languages online:  Mandarin, German, and Japanese.  Or they can opt to attend another high school that offers these languages in-person.

    Topics covered in each language: calendar, geography, maps, art, introductions/good-byes, colors, numbers, culture, politeness

    General themes:  how to study, Who am I, identity, culture, how to compare/contrast a student's life/beliefs with those of others

    Students will learn how to be a good World citizen and come to class with an open mind and respect.  This class is all about different perspectives.

    All grades are on PowerSchool and I update regularly.
