[quote=Anonymous]Studying Latin is very different from other languages. My oldest did not care for Spanish elementary school and switched to Latin in 7th grade. He loved it. Latin is very rule based, and it is not generally taught as a spoken language. Kids with have trouble picking up sounds / oral receptive or expressive language will have difficulty with most foreign languages, but that is not an obstacle to Lain. Latin is heavier on reading of classics. It launched my DS's interest in history, philosophy, and even poetry. Latin classes also tend to be tighter knit because they tend to be smaller, and when my DS went to college there was always an instant connection with other kids who studied Latin in high school. There was no similar connection for my younger son who excelled at Spanish in high school. [/quote]
