Qoui De Neuf?

What’s New?

 

1. Madame Pope now has her students’ grades available online!  My grades will be updated every Wednesday after school and should be available to view Wednesday evening! 

 

My grades were last updated on: Wednesday, May 14 at 2:00 p.m.

 

2. Now that we are up and running with students’ grades online, I will no longer be hunting students down for signed quizzes.  I will also no longer be making phone calls to parents because of the ease of looking up the grades for themselves!  However, I will still be giving out extra points if the quiz is signed and shown to me the very next French class.

Pourquoi Etudiez-Vous Le Français?

Why Study French?

 

Here are a few good reasons to study the French language:

 

1. French is spoken by over 300 million people in over 50 countries on every continent making it and English the world's only truly global languages!

 

2. France and French-speaking countries are leaders in fields such as telecommunications, medicine, genetics, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, transportation, energy, aviation, and aerospace technologies.

 

3. Here are some famous celebrities that speak French: Robin Williams, Madonna, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Angelina Jolie and Tommy Lee Jones!

 

4. French is the preferred or official language of many international organizations and businesses. 

 

5. One example of the importance of French can be seen in a recent listing of international jobs (8/29/06) distributed by the US State Department: 135 required or preferred French, 49 Spanish, 6 Arabic, 6 Russian, 2 German, 2 Italian, and 2 Chinese.

 

6. French as a foreign language is the second most frequently taught language in the world after English.
