French 10 Expectations When you started learning how to speak your mother tongue, you were immersed in the language. This means that you heard it all the time and were constantly practicing it yourself. This process and method is the only way to truly learn a language. What does this mean for class? This means that you are expected to do your best to express yourself and your thoughts in French as much as possible. This also means that you absolutely must keep up in class with assignments and all practice opportunities. If you fall behind, it may be impossible to catch up. Note: You cannot do well in the class unless you complete every assignment – speaking, listening, reading and writing. Because this class builds upon and practices new concepts and vocabulary every day, regular attendance and daily participation are extremely important. Students are responsible for all make-up work.
