So I’m a rising freshman, and up until now, I’ve been sure that I wanted to take Latin in high school. That is, until I started talking to some older friends who suggested against it. I can take four years of Spanish including AP Spanish. My high school is weird and only offers up to three years of Latin best case scenario, and even that doesn’t happen most of the time. Most colleges require at least three years of a foreign language, and I will most likely not be able to fulfill that if I take Latin. Even though I really want to take Latin, I know Spanish we be more practical in the long term. I would appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with either of these languages in hs to weigh the pros and cons. Thanks for your help.
