Pourquoi ne pas utiliser Google Translate? Hé ben, voilà.

Why shouldn't you be using Google Translate for school/professional applications?  Well, it's a great app/service, but here's what can happen:

... See?  Things can get a little confused.

Obtaining a Passport

With the Québec trip coming up, many of the participants will need to obtain a passport (as will Mr. Youngblood as his last passport expired quite a few years ago).  Here is a link to the State Department Bureau of Consular Affairs website which will outline how to go about obtaining a passport.

Currently, it is taking about 4 weeks to get a passport back, so it is best to apply for it early.

Bon retour!

Bon retour aux parents et aux élèves de Saegertown High School.  I hope that you had a wonderful summer filled with excitement  and relaxation.  Welcome back to school and another year of discovering the French language as well as the cultures that use it.  I hope that you are all as excited about this year's education journey as I am.  There are a few new things to get used to, such as the 9 period day and the new schedules and teachers at Saegertown.  However, we will be regarding these things as the norm in no time.  Have a fantastic school year!  Je vous souhaite une année scolaire spectaculaire!

Les langues d'affaires

     Est-ce que vous savez quels sont les langues les plus importants pour les affairs?  Et bien sûr que l'anglais est le plus important mais après l'anglais, les résultats ne sont pas aussi clairs.  Selon cet article de Bloomberg, après l'anglais, le mandarin est la langue la plus importante dans le monde d'affairs.  Ensuite:  le français.  Alors, la prochaine fois que quelqu'un te demande pourquoi apprendre le français, vous pouvez citez cette article.

     Do you know which languages are the most used in business?  Well, of course English is number one, but after English, the results aren't so evident.  According to this article from Bloomberg, after English, Mandarin Chinese is the most used language in the business world.  In second place?  French. So, the next time someone asks you why one should learn french, you can cite this article.
