My daughter took Latin in HS and from the first day, she knew that it was what she wanted to study in college. Once there, she studied Attic Greek as well, and she said it was the hardest thing she ever studied. It took a very long timeto read and to do translations and a very long time to become even semi -proficient.

She majored in both languages at an Ivy. She is in business school now.

I think what helped her in Latin and Greek was her analytical ability and math/ science ability (Bio, Chem Physics APs–all 5s --CalcBC–5 as well)

People look at her funny when she tells them. Don’t even ask about what my husband thinks.
