situations. Students will also learn to read
signs, menus, and timetables, as well as
simple prose. In addition, discussions about
the country, its people, and customs will
give students an understanding and
appreciation of the culture. This course is
taught using the immersion technique; that
is, the class is taught in the foreign
language itself.
