your students' first exposure to foreign language a positive one,
because of interesting topics and engaging activities.

Latin, German, and Japanese) can stand alone, allowing flexibility
in the classroom.
- Each chapter contains several theme-based
lessons covering such topics as greetings, telling time, weather
expressions, the home, the family, and sports.
- The introduction to the text contains
four preparatory lessons that help your students focus on the
concept of language in general: "Communication," "Languages of
the World," "Words," and "The Structure of Languages."
