Donald Deliz, one of the A&M modern language teachers, has made several summer trips around Europe to carry on research and to find new methods of improving his foreign languages courses here, His latest trip was this summer, The places he has visited most frequently are France and Spain, The purpose of this was to com plete his knowledge in French and Spanish, both of which he started to learn when he was seven years old. “Unfortunately, the American tourist impedes the practice of the language’,, Deliz said, “because most of the time in Europe I find myself speaking in English." Deliz notice in his trip that most of the people, especially young people, are more interested learning foreign languages than in getting their college degrees. Ah so they are able to speak mon than two languages. Deliz is thinking of going to Europe again next summer, but this time he will spend his time seeing the marvels of each city.
