Q: Hey. I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade at the moment. Right now I'm registering for high school classes for next year. I'm definitely taking Latin 1. Since there aren't very many honors classes for freshmans, I think I want to take Spanish 1 also (it's not a honors class. I want to take it because I think I can use it a lot in the real world or w/e). My question is, do you think I should take 2 languages?
Thanks.

Taking up two languages at the same time might be a little confusing. If you can, take Latin 1 your freshman year, and then when you become a sophomore, take Latin 2 and Spanish 1. That way you'll be able to use your basic knowledge of Latin in learning Spanish, but you won't get the two confused. (Trust me, I tried learning Greek and French at the same time, and it can get pretty confusing, even if the languages don't sound that much alike)Ultimately, follow what you think will be right for you, but there's my input on the decision. Freshman year can be a little overwhelming in itself, taking two languages might just complicate things a bit more.

Lol. I thought about that... like what if I used spanish or w/e when I'm in latin class? And yea, I think that having a year of latin would be helpful when taking spanish.
Thanks

Hiya! I'm dwarp. A crazy 19 year old from Chicago with too much time on her hands.I started this column when I was about 14, I think and I keep coming back. My friends tend to come to me for advice, so I've gotten pretty good at answering most problems. I'm a crazy Greek vegetarian, and yes, I have seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It's exactly like my family, so I am really great at answering questions about insane families. I study political science and international studies and I like to learn languages. I speak English, French, German, a bit of Greek, and I'm learning Italian next semester. I've had lots of weirdo love/sex-life experiences, so I'm pretty knowledgeable in that area. Ummm.....ask me anything!
Peace!
