Your time in high school is precious. Choose your electives carefully.

A message from your World Language teachers at Lakeside Lutheran High School...Pastor Mark Toepel, Gerald Walta and Nathan Koerber:We strongly encourage at least 2 years of the same language in high school (German, Latin or Spanish), with the option to take 3 or 4 years of Spanish or German. Work through this diagram before freshman year. (If you want only 2 years of a World Language, consider waiting until your junior year to begin.)

Learning a language well takes years. Language learning does not happen overnight.

The purpose of homework is to internalize and practice what is taught in class.

If you answer yes, read on to the next branch.

If your answer is “I’m not sure,” talk to your family and teachers to help you decide.

If you answer no, we recommend waiting until your junior year to begin your world language study.
