[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My inattentive ADHD son with low processing speed takes French and Latin. French because it's our native language, and Latin because it's mostly written, not oral, and that really helps him in the processing speed department, where verbal fluency is a problem. He's also pretty good in computer science, even though it's also a language, but not a spoken language. Everything is written out and pondered over. [/quote] Processing speed, attention, and working memory are three totally different things. OP describes her son as low in working memory so Latin is going to be unduly hard. OP, the state department rates how easy and hard languages are to learn and Spanish and French are in the easiest category. Go with that. [/quote]
