Why learn a language?
In the MFL department here at Harris, we know that the ability to speak another language is an amazing and life-changing skill. Miss M, Ms V, Mr. Boucher and Ms. Petrou have all got first-hand experience of the impact that learning a language can have on you as an individual, and also on the community around you. On this page, we want to share some of this experience with you and show you some of the
places that French and Spanish could take you in life.
