I’ve taken Latin freshman year (rising sophomore now), and it wasn’t too bad to learn, imo. Because most English words (and words in other languages) have Latin roots, Latin is very useful in strengthening vocabulary. This in turn is great for tests involving a vocabulary portion, such as the SATs.
Considering Latin is “dead”, you may not find it useful in the longrun. It is a challenging class though. If you’re up for a challenge, though, go ahead and take the class. :)
