[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It could be a learning disability.  Has she tried Latin?  That might be easier for some, as it is a non-spoken language, so auditory processing is not a factor as it would be for a modern language.

Or maybe she's just an average student.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.[/quote]

what an hilariously ill-informed suggestion. Latin is punishingly difficult regardless of the fact its unspoken.
spanish is the easiest language on offer

OP get her a tutor or if not that a rosetta stone package and as others have said - study over the summer to pick it up better in year 3. also I think go for a 4th year if possible.[/quote]

It depends on the circumstances.  If you are switching to Latin 1 as my DD did, its a lot easier than Spanish 4 would have been.   My DD started spanish in 7th grade (had poor instruction for two years) stugged to pull Bs in Spanish 3 Freshman year.  So, she switched to Latin and will take Latin 1 and 2 in HS.  Latin 1 has been very easy for her.  In fact they suggested she skip Latin 2 and go to Latin 3, which she is not going to do becasue she'd rather spend her study time on AP sciences. [/quote]
