Bonjour ! Hola!
Welcome! My name is Ms. Katelyn Gross, and I teach French and Spanish at Wells High School. In French class we learn about French-speaking language and culture. In Spanish, we learn about Spanish-speaking language and culture.
French and Spanish are languages spoken all around the world by millions of people! They are beautiful languages useful for business, travel, education, and studying art or literature!
With Maine's proximity to Quebec and connection to French-Canadian history, I hope that studying French is especially meaningful to people in this region. With Spanish as a historical and current cultural language in the United States as a whole, I hope Spanish is also meaningful to learn.
