<p>Have you taken Spanish before?</p>
<p>Assuming you live in the US, I suppose Spanish would be a more useful language than French (the opposite for me is true, yay for two official languages!). Does that play into consideration at all?</p>
<p>In terms of taking either French or Spanish with Latin, I don't think there would be a huge difference.</p>
<p>I haven't taken any of them before.</p>
<p>I am an international student from Vietnam. </p>
<p>What do you guys think will be better Spanish or French ?</p>
<p>I would think in Vietnam you'd find more literature on French because of the former French influence in the region. But that's just my uneducated opinion.</p>
<p>Yes, I'm a Latin hater. I've seen too many adults who took only Latin and now regret it because they have no knowledge of any foreign languages.</p>
<p>You are right at that point. All of my grandparents speak French, my mother was major in French, my father studied French and English in college. I was about to study French instead of English when I first went to school. I started in a French class.</p>
<p>Now I come to the US, find that a lot of kids study Spanish. </p>
<p>I like to study a lot of languages. I studied Chinese for a while last year. I want to study Swedes too.</p>
<p>Which one is better for me Spanish or French ?</p>
<p>I took 5 APs (one of which was Spanish language) as well ask Japanese and American Sign Language. Not only is it doable, but its a blast. :D</p>
<p>ow. You are so admirable. I am even fighting with my AP Cal AB right now. I might take 2 or 3 next year and 2 or 3 in senior year</p>
<p>once you learn one language it becomes easier to learn others</p>
<p>I spoke polish first, then english, then french
try to learn as many as you can, if not for collegiate purposes it just develops you as a person</p>
<p>take as many aps as you are comfotable with, junior year I took ap us and language, now senior year I take ap 2d art, ap langauge, ap government, and ap psy</p>
<p>ap calc is hard, so maybe you want to go easier on your course load so you can focus on getting high grades in those classes</p>
<p>I am having a 99 average in AP Cal now but struggling with the AP test. I have done a practice test on Tuesday and going to do one today. I did not do well on the last one.</p>
<p>So should I take Latin then French or Spanish or Latin and French or Spanish ?</p>
<p>I learn english, french and german. I also were taking latin, but i had to wake up at 4,30, so i left it. its ok, to take two langs. in czech thats also standard since 9th year.</p>
<p>I've taken Latin since sixth grade and I started Spanish this year (sophomore year). I found it pretty simple to catch onto. Latin is definitely a good base for most other languages. I think it'll help a lot with French; it did with Spanish. It's also good for SAT-vocab.</p>
<p>Thanks for your suggestion.</p>
<p>I am still hesitating between Spanish and French. Which one should I choose ?</p>
<p>Spanish. It's going to end up being prevalent in the U.S. It will come into play far more than French ever will.</p>
<p>I'm in French II and Spanish I right now as a freshman, and learning the basics of Spanish was really easy after knowing a little French. I plan on adding Chinese by junior year.</p>
<p>Ow. I took Chinese before. I liked it but did not have enough time to study.</p>
<p>So should I start with Latin and French then start Spanish later ?</p>
<p>Why do you want to do Latin?</p>
<p>I agree with the posters who think taking both (Latin and French/Spanish) is a good idea. It really does help learning the other language, and it's worth it. I think Latin is good if you like languages, and it does help with roots, although one could pick that up without Latin. I took Latin and Spanish at the same time, but I started Latin after several years of Spanish. I personally think Spanish is easier to learn than French.</p>
<p>Thanks for your suggestion.</p>
<p>Any more suggestion for me ?</p>

<p>If you want to improve in English, study English.</p>
<p>I am still studying English to improve my language but I want to use Latin as a foundation language.</p>
<p>You should study Greek too if you want to improve your zenglis
I am out of here</p>
