Elementary Spanish: “Get the Ear and Lose the Fear!”
Thank you for your interest in the Poudre School District World Language Program. Students study a foreign language for a variety of reasons: required career skill, college requirements or just for personal satisfaction. The study of a world language is no longer just a class; it is a life skill! We are a global community and must be able to interact with people around the world.
