What do students learn in French class at Palmer​​​​
Students at Palmer learn a lot of stuff through french 8, until up to french 12. In French 8-9, students will learn french verbs, counting, greetings, and also how to sing the abc’s, or the months of the year. In grade 9, you start to get more advanced. You get into real verbal presentations, french paragraphs, future tenses, and conjugating words. Lastly, grades 10-12 focus mainly on developing or furthering their ability to communicate by actually talking very full sentences and not just greetings or other stuff. This prepares them for the real world if they are trying to get into jobs that are in french dominant countries such as the ones listed above. In conclusion, Palmer very much prepares them for the future, or just as a second useful language at hand.
My comment for the French subject
​
When I was in French class last year, I really didn't want to do it because I didn't think learning a new language was important for me. Over time, I realized that if I wanted to open up more career life opportunities, more languages would give me more possibilities later on. Furthermore, my French class teacher, Mr. Amega, taught the class really well despite his strong accent. Overall, my advice to this reader is to pay attention in french, especially in Canada because it can open up way more opportunities than you think.
