Which language path will you select?
As your child moves through his or her school career, he or she will have to make selections in many areas, course selections, level selections ,athletics and extracurricular activities to name a few. As upcoming 7th graders one of the first choices he or she must make is selecting a language path...

WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR SELECTION KEEP IN MIND THESE THINGS:
Where do you see yourself in the future?
The "most spoken" language will depend on WHERE you are and WHERE you see yourself in the future.
Will you be in MA? In CA? Traveling to South America? Traveling to Asia?

Don't make your selection...
- because of your friend's!
- because you think it is cool!
- because you think it is easy!
- because of the teacher!
- Make it because you want to communicate with native speakers.

Language learning may seem easy now but it will get harder. Are you ready to participate, practice and PERSEVERE when the work gets harder and you are asked to do more?
