[quote=Anonymous] I would second the earlier poster's suggestion to check out Latin if it's an option depending upon why a child struggles with Spanish. Some kids have have trouble with the listening/spontaneous speaking, and as classes get taught more in the foreign language it makes for a bad spiral. Latin is not easier -- grammatically, if anything, it is harder and it is taught with a big history component in most schools. But it doesn't have the spoken component so if that's the problem some kids do very well in Latin who disliked Spanish. And I have never come across a college that didn't treat Latin as a foreign language -- if anything, because it is more unusual it is probably a plus in applying to college. [/quote]
