Foreign Language Department

Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.

-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Wouldn't it be great if you could...

...make friends from around the world?

...talk to online buddies in their own language?

...help someone understand directions, get medical help or find something they're looking for?

...better understand English grammar?

...experience another culture without ever leaving home?

...talk with other people your own age when you do travel?

...do better academically in all your classes?

OHS Foreign Language classes can help you do all this and more!
