Foreign Languages

Solid foreign language study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many college require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more.

Learning a foreign language can be a challenge but is exciting. Repetition is the key to learning a language, and having conversation with other speaking the same language is the best was to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your sills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is a ship without a rudder”

Thomas Carlyle

This quote means that if you don’t have a goal then you won’t get nowhere in life. And if a ship doesn't have rudder then it won’t be able to get anywhere. So in life you will need to have a goal and accomplish it so you can succeed in life. It is a good choice to have a goal in life so you can feel motivated. And when you have goals you will feel happy because one day you will achieve them. And if you don’t you won’t be happy that you achieve anything.

Getting the most out of session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

·      Decide what you’re going to do in advance.

·      Prepare for the session, so you can make them most of your time together.

·      Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge

·      Stick to the session topic:

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a little better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

Student success statement 

"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalposts are"

Arnold Glasgow 

This quote means if you don't go far in life, then you won't know where your goals are in life and won't achieve no goals. If you don't put your mind to your goal. You won't accomplish it. Like in football if you don't know where the goalposts are you won't win or achieve. So in life you should know what your goals are and try and achieve them.

Working Together help everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

·      Think out loud.

·      Share ideas

·      Learn from one another

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together – explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s – and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.
