Gigi Swenson ~ Gigi grew up in a German-speaking household, studied in both France and Mexico, and holds a degree in modern languages from Montana State University. Study opportunities and travel around the world have helped improved her language skills and showed her the value of learning a second language. When her children were small and she began singing German songs to them she realized how easy it was for young children to acquire other languages, especially through music. In 2001 she co-created a program called Music Lingua which teaches foreign languages to young children through music, and she currently teaches French and German parent-child classes for preschoolers in Bozeman, in addition to teaching German as a coach for the World Language program. Gigi is very excited that the Bozeman School District is now offering many different language opportunities in the elementary schools and happy to be a part of expanding language and cultural awareness for Bozeman students.
Elizabeth Varnes ~ My family background is partly German, and when I started college, I wanted to take German classes to learn the language of my ancestors. Within a few class sessions, I found that I immensely enjoy speaking and reading the German language and learning about the German culture.
I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina and graduated from the College of Charleston last May. I now live on a ranch in Montana and enjoy a wide range of hobbies. In my free time indoors, I enjoy singing and playing music. I absolutely love the outdoors, and enjoy the wide range of outdoor activities including fishing, gardening, horseback riding, or hiking.
I am honored to be on the World Language Initiative team, and I am very excited to work with this next generation and support language learning throughout the beautiful state of Montana!
