If you are interested in getting a
language minor, flyers are coming soon. The flyers will contain information on
how to successfully get a minor in French or Spanish. There will soon be an
accelerated program that will allow for language minor completion within two short years. Even if you are not interested in minoring in language, and you just want to explore another language for fun, there are options for
you as well.

The language department has several different
events that are coming soon that you should look out for. The Spanish and the
French classes will soon be doing international movie days. International movie
days will feature a novel that is in French or in Spanish— but don’t panic,
even if you still aren’t fluent in the language that you are practicing, there
will still be captions on the screen to help you out. Madame Roxane Pajoul gave some
insight on what the French international movies are going to be based around.
“I am trying to show films that are about race in France. I really want to
start a discussion because in the fall I am going to teach a class entitled
“Race in France.”
The Spanish Table Talk is a good
time to practice your Spanish with other students that are trying to master
Spanish. The event takes place every Tuesday from 2:30-3:30pm in room 113 of
the Humanities building. Unfortunately, because of the fact that there is only
one French professor French Table Talk is not possible. Though Madame Pajoul
says she sees it in the French program’s future.
Acquiring a foreign language is a very
beneficial , regardless of whether you plan to minor in it
or not. “I have been working on French off and on for 15 years now," French student Brandi Hood says. "I think it
is very important to broaden your horizons and learn more about cultures, and
language is an easy way do that.”
