[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it were my kid, I would prefer that he stick with Spanish but I think it's important to let him follow his interests.  Look, he's got two years of Spanish and that's what counts if he decides to study it later.  When I was in high school, I studied French, Latin, and German but now as an adult I'm trying to learn Spanish.  Because I learned French as a young person, it comes more naturally to me than Spanish even though I haven't studied it in years and I've been slowly but surely studying Spanish for the last 10 years or so.  If I had had even a year or so of Spanish in high school, it would have been easier for me to pick it up as an adult.

He's got the foundation he needs if/when he decides to go back.  Let him study Latin.  BTW I rarely use Latin these days but I *loved* reading Cicero's defense of Sextus Roscius in high school.  Still remember it![/quote]Oh sorry, I thought you said your kid wanted to study Latin but it's your dh.  Sorry about that.  Yeah, screw that, the kid should study Spanish if that's what your son wants. But it won't kill him to take a year off and study Latin given his foundation in Spanish.[/quote]
