<p>Are the first level foreign language courses much difficulty than the high school ones? S is planning to take Latin in his freshman year. He does not have any knowledge of Latin. Is Latin a difficult course at Tufts?</p>
<p>yeah it will be harder. 1 year of college lang is 3 years of hs lang.</p>

<p>What about the ELEMENTARY LATIN I (LAT 0001 )?</p>
<p>A semester of language at Tufts is going to be worth more than in high school, but you can go into Latin 1 (or any language's 1 course) without any knowledge of the language. Just be prepared for it to be faster/more intensive than a high school language class.</p>
<p>Since it's an introductory course, going in without any prior knowledge of the language shouldn't be a problem.</p>
