It takes a long time to gain proficiency in a foreign language, and it is very important that you, as a middle school student, begin your world language study in the 7th grade so you will be well-positioned to acquire true proficiency by the time you graduate high school. Your ability to speak and understand another language will open up a whole new world for you. It will also enable you to acquire a third and fourth language with relative ease.
The public school system is currently unable to offer many of the languages necessary for the globalized world of the 21st Century. As such, increasingly School are allowing independent language study to be included under the rubric of school choice, and are actually financing such independent world language studies. Other states, while not yet ready to finance such an undertaking, are at least allowing students to pursue such language studies at their own expense for credit. If you are a middle school student, you should inquire as to what the rules are regarding such independent studies in your school district. We invite you to study whatever language you wish at World Language Exchange. We will help and support your success. Click on the language of your choice and follow the “middle school” link for our course offerings.
