Many thanks to Ella and Alison for coming into our department and talking to our pupils. It was interesting to hear how German and French can be combined with business, law and many other interesting subjects!

The Hamilton College Modern Languages Department enjoyed a visit from two Strathclyde University Language Ambassadors (Ella and Alison). Our learners enjoyed the visit and found it very insightful and interesting. #HamiltonKnowledge

To draw our Languages Week celebrations to a close, Mr Leiper offered learners a Latin taster lesson at lunchtime today. I wonder how many of our former pupils remember this book? #latin #Scotlandloveslanguages @HC_Scotland @LangsWeekScot

This year, as part of Languages Week Scotland, S1 and S2 pupils have been contributing to our 40th anniversary celebrations by creating a timeline of key events in France and Germany from 1983-2023. I wonder which events spring to mind for those reading this tweet! @LangsWeekScot
