Would Latin Be an Option?

(I’m currently in A.P. Latin IV)

Latin is a really helpful subject to know; many other languages have roots in it, and it helps immensely with word origins/grammar on the SAT! It is NOT an easy subject, but I think it would definitely be manageable to take on in your circumstances. A lot of it is rote memorization in the first two years–memorizing words and charts. If this is one of your strengths, it would probably be a great option.

You do not have to become “fluent” in Latin or speak in it, which is a plus. You will want to make sure that you get a great textbook that explains things well. I would suggest the “Ecce Romani” series; it’s very student-friendly :)

I hope you are well soon. Best of luck!
