What do students learn in French class at Palmer​​​​

The students at Palmer school get to learn a lot of new things in the French language starting from Grade 8 up to Grade 12. The students in grade 8 and the ones above will be introduced to the teaching of French verbs, numbers, and greetings as well as singing the alphabet or the months of the year. The ninth grade is when the student gets really serious about the language. French will be the only language used for the oral presentations, the paragraphs will be written in French, future tenses will be studied, and verb conjugation will be practiced. Finally, the main focus of the 10-12 grades will be on developing or continuing their communication skills by speaking in very complete sentences and not just using greetings or saying very short things. T In conclusion, Palmer schools do a great job in preparing the students for the future even if the future is just another language that is very useful.

My comment for the French subject

​

Last year, I was taking French class and I was not really into it because of the reason that I d to learn a new language was not so important to me. However, later on, I came to the conclusion that if I am going to be a person with many career options in the future then learning more languages is a way to go for me. Besides, Mr. Amega, the French teacher, was very good in his teaching although he had a strong accent. All in all, my message to the reader is to focus in french class, especially in Canada, because it can later turn out that you have much more opportunities than you ever thought.
