Mr Black's S1 class were treated to a Russian taster this week to celebrate @LangsWeekScot . Pupils did a great job at spelling their names in the Cyrillic alphabet using Play-Doh.

We have had a great time celebrating Languages Week. Vielen Dank to James who gave our S2,3 and 4 learners a great talk about why German is such a great language to learn! @LangsWeekScot @GI_Glasgow

Studying a modern language is a really rewarding and practical experience. Before Christmas, Ms Malaisé took our S3 beginners' Spanish learners to a tapas restaurant. After only 4 months of learning the language, the pupils were able to order in Spanish! ¡Muy bien!

The languages teachers are looking forward to celebrating Languages Week Scotland! Keep an eye on our X page in the week ahead to find out more about what's going on! @LangsWeekScot.

Mr Black and Mrs Duncan took S3, S4 and S6 German learners to the Goethe-Institut where a great day was had by all learning about how useful learning German is to a wide range of careers. @GI_Glasgow

Our staff enjoyed a French café at break time. The croissants went down a treat!

Well done to Mr Black's S3 class who took on the challenge of racing against the clock (and each other) to find out more about German-speaking countries. A special well done to the winning team!

The Modern Languages teachers at Hamilton College would like to thank our catering staff for getting on board with our EDL celebrations and providing us with a lovely continental menu at lunch today!

S1 took on the challenge of writing or shaping with Playdough letters from different countries. Bon effort!

We had a fantastic day celebrating European Day of Languages! The Transitus pupils had a great time dressing up!

To celebrate European Day of Languages, we encouraged staff and pupils to wear the colours of their chosen country. Our resident mandarin enthusiast, Ms Malaisé wore her Chinese dress and our German teacher, Mr Black wore the colours of the German flag.

With European Day of Languages just around the corner, S1 had the chance today to test out different alphabets and learn some words and phrases in a range of world languages.

We would like to wish a very warm welcome (back) to all of our learners who will be joining us at @HC_Scotland tomorrow. A special welcome to Ms Malaisé - our new French and Spanish teacher. We look forward to seeing you in your French, German, Spanish and Latin classes!.

RT @MB_OReilly: Having a new term clear out and have two boxes of various Classics books for anyone interested in picking them up from Hami….

Félicitations & Glückwunsch to all of our learners receiving French, German and Latin results today! Lots of achievements to be celebrated. Wir sind stolz auf euch! Nous sommes fiers de vous!.

*JOB OPPORTUNITY*.Exciting news! We are looking for an enthusiastic modern languages teacher to join our team from August. The role is full-time and permanent. Here is the link:

@scottishcilt @HC_Scotland @LangsWeekScot Learners in Transitus, S1 and S2 were set a German escape room challenge. Our winners were rewarded with a certificate and some Haribo (did you know that Haribo is a German company?)!

We were delighted to welcome Lauren and Danielle from Strathclyde University to talk to our S4-6 linguists about the opportunities that learning a language can bring. @UniStrathclyde @HC_Scotland @scottishcilt

Finally, staff from various departments posted signs on their doors about which language they would like to learn. Italian seemed to be the most popular choice!
