EDUCATION GUIDE
Which foreign language do you
study? Why did you choose
it? Do you think the ability to
speak or read a foreign language
will help you in the future?
HALL TALK
OcCA
“While I don’t now study
a language in school, I
am studying Japanese on
my own after five years
of studying it in school. I
think the ability to read
and speak another language
broadens opportunities,
as well as understanding.
Cultural context can
be tricky, and having a
language other than English
is one early step to that.”
Xavier Flournoy

“I study French, because
my family has an interesting
history with the country
and the language. Two
generations ago, my
grandfather and his family
hosted a foreign exchange
student from France, and
ever since our families have
kept in touch. Last summer I
had the amazing experience
to visit France on my own,
and I stayed with this same French family.
Understanding French and being in France, one
can be exposed to so much culture. As an added
bonus, it is true what they say; learning one foreign
language makes it immeasurably simpler to learn
another language. After not having a Spanish class
since elementary school, as a high school senior I
clearly understand many basic sentences in Spanish
with little to no guidance. It is as if there have been
many doors opened up to me, and I can follow many
into my future. Learning a language is an amazing
experience that I would encourage anyone who can
to pursue.”

“Throughout middle school and high
school, I have taken German. While
it was required in previous grades, I
have chosen to continue taking it, as I
feel it helps in understanding English.
I hope the studying German will open
opportunities in college for traveling
abroad and comprehending other
cultures.”
Mollte Simon

“I’ve been taking French for five to six
years now.... I really want to go to Paris
and be able to speak to the people. The
French language is so artful.”
