Do not cheat. Students caught cheating will receive a zero. I expect you to do your own work and to be sure no one can copy it. This includes the usage of any online translation sites such as Google Translate.

Each course is designed to develop an authentic and practical understanding of the Spanish and French language and culture. Students will have the ability to express their thoughts, feelings, and opinions in the target language within basic, real-life situations and learning scenarios. All new concepts will be introduced in context while incorporating various listening, speaking and writing activities.

I am more than willing to tutor after school. Please do not hesitate to ask for extra help at any time. However, you must make arrangements with me due to family obligations.
