The Method
Walking past a Dartmouth language drill session, a student may hear a cacophony of words — a mix of broken sentences in Spanish, French, German or one of the other nine languages offered on campus. Each voice brings a new way of speaking the language: some words mispronounced; some accents perfect; words tumbling over each other as students repeat after the drill instructor and attempt to sound out syllables, paying close attention because they never know when they’re going to get called on.
