Originating in the 6th century, the Arabic language has become one of the most widely spoken and recognizable languages in the world today. This version of Arabic is the formal language of news, media, and books. This beginning-level class introduces the 28 Arabic letters and focuses on basic reading and writing skills through an interactive and practical instructional method. Some basic everyday vocabulary and conversations, such as greetings and courtesy expressions, are also part of the course.

Bonjour! Learn everyday French by grooving to music, creating comic skits, singing along with popular French songs, and competing in friendly games. As we practice French phrases and conversation, you’ll sharpen your theater arts skills while making nouveaux amis (new friends). New and returning students are welcome. Fifth graders, this is a great way to see if you want to take French next year!
