“Our family homeschool follows a more Classical style, but we can’t decide whether or not to pursue Spanish or Latin for our foreign language. Where we live Spanish seems to make more practical sense. However, from a classical perspective, Latin is strongly encouraged, plus we have been told it helps build a foundation for a fuller understanding of vocabulary and grammar.”
“Whatever we choose we want to do it for both our 10 and 13 year old. We are leaning toward Spanish, but would appreciate any constructive suggestions from families who have already come to this crossroad.”
Have you had to make a decision between Spanish and Latin? What did you choose and why?
Heather Sanders Hi. I’m Heather, a freelance writer living in Huntsville, a smallish town on the tail-end of the East Texas Pineywoods. Twenty years ago, I married Jeff, the love of my life, and shortly after, we chose to “go forth and multiply.” We have three kids: Emelie, Meredith and Kenny. We homeschool. It's what we do, and it works for us. Tired of feeling overwhelmed, we recently "faithsized" our family into a 960 square foot lake cabin in need of renovation. I write at HeatherSanders.com about faith and simplifying your desires so you can be content right here and right now (16) Follow Heather Sanders: Heather Sanders' blog:
