<p>I am scheduled to graduate in spring 07.</p>
<p>In college, I have studied French, Italian, and Hungarian (for my Linguistics requirement).</p>
<p>There is a possibility that I may have room in the fall of my final year to take one more intro language course. I may or may not be able to.</p>
<p>I’m a Linguistics major with particular interest in Romance Languages. I took Spanish in high school and would love to jump back on the wagon since I’ve forgotten a lot. I can understand a lot at conversation club meetings but I cannot respond due to lack of grammar and vocab.</p>
<p>I’m also curious about Portuguese, as I have never studied it but have only heard it spoken…seems like it would be challenging for me, but a welcome challenge.</p>
<p>And then of course there is Latin. Some grad programs require or advise knowing some Latin. I know this would actually be the harder of any of the languages I am considering, but it may be helpful. I planned, however, to possibly take Latin as an elective while in Grad school. </p>
<p>Would it be better for me to try and start Latin before I graduate or start Portuguese or pick up Spanish again?</p>
<p>My educational goals are grad school for one of the areas I mentioned above or maybe even something else (like W. Euro Studies or something). My career goals don’t deal with teaching but do involve getting use out of my language skills–preferably working for the government, but I am not sure exactly. My personal goal is to become multilingual.</p>
