Foreign Language
At Northark there are studies in Spanish and German. Both courses are designed 
for students beginning their study of the language. Each stresses, by means of classroom recitation and laboratory periods with recordings, the basic vocabulary and grammatical structures that will enable the student to speak read, and write Spanish or German. Not just a study of languages for ease of communication, foreign language comprehension helps linguists. Linguists are interested in understanding the properties common to all human languages through the study of linguistic structure (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics) and language history, function, and acquisition. In addition, linguists explore many specific aspects of individual languages, language groups, and language uses.
