I took Spanish 1 in 7th/8th grade combined (and got a high A in it, if that matters), but my teacher in 8th grade didn’t teach ANYTHING… Our warmup consistently took up 3/5ths of our class period and 1/5ths of it was her screaming at people for not doing it. Her quizzes were from the book (which you could see the questions and answers in). Anyways, she has a reputation for teaching nothing, and people who go on to do Honors Spanish 2 as a freshman STRUGGLE, and have to study A LOT.

I am kind of interested in taking Latin (even though it’s considered “dead”), because it helps for vocab (SAT,reading,writing, college, etc…) and it’s useful in the medical field (which I want to work in).

To get to AP for Spanish, you have to do Spanish 2, 3, and 4 Honors, and then AP is in 12th.
To get to AP for Latin you do Latin 1, Latin 2 H, Latin 3 H, and AP Latin in 12th.
Do colleges prefer a certain one or something?

I don’t mind taking either… I am taking all Honors/AP, along with a sport and a club or two, so I was wondering which subject you think I should take and why.

Thanks!
