¡Buenos dias!

This month we are acknowledging “Discover Languages” here at Johns Creek High School. We are proud to announce three wonderful languages: Spanish, French and Latin. Each day, we will provide with a fun fact about one of the languages. On Thursday, there is going to be a trivia question. Write the answer including your name and grade and take it to any World Language teacher by the end of the day. The winner of a gift certificate will be announced on Tuesday after the break. Make sure you listen up. The fact for today is: Spanish is spoken as a first language by about 330 million people and as a second language by perhaps another 50 million. Stay tune for this Thursday trivia question. ¡Muchas gracias!
