Guten Tag! Bonjour! Buenos dias!

"Goethe said: 'He, who doesn't know another language knows nothing of his own.' Studying German helped me to understand the syntax and the structure of English. Studying German has taken me numerous times to Europe, and I appreciate other cultures and have a better world view than if I had never studied a language." (Mr. Walker, German teacher)

"Learning another language opens a world of so many opportunities. You can use it in your career, to travel, study abroad, learn about different cultures and people, meet different people, etc." (Mr. Gin, Department Chair and French teacher)

"Knowing another language is like being another person." (Mrs.Gilbert, Spanish teacher)
