In Reply to: Has anyone decided to not do Latin and instead do Spanish or some other modern language? Why? Do you regret it? nt posted by steppingstonemomma
I don't regret it yet, since we haven't started Spanish yet! LOL
Every time I get out Latin curriculum, it makes my head spin. I've never studied it and it's all totally new to me.
In contrast, my husband picks up Spanish easily and already knows quite a bit. And I grew up around lots of Spanish speakers, plus took it in high school. So I'm much more familiar with Spanish than I am with Latin.
I do want to do something like English from the Roots Up, or something that will teach the kids Greek and Latin roots. But I'm not interested in studying the languages themselves.
