I'm considering taking beginner Latin in college... Do you think it would be an extremely hard class?

well, I'm taking Latin and I think it's fun and i did'nt have much difficulties with it. But to be a beginner is allways tough I guess, it really depends on how determined you are.

I had five years of spanish and almost a full year of ancient greek before trying latin and it has come easy. the rest of my class seems to be keeping up just fine - once you learn the system of conjugating verbs and declining nouns it's a breeze. i say go for it - most of the words are cognates and it really helps your english!

since most languages are derived from latin, probably not. you will recognize alot of words and be able to tell. like pediatrico, means kid, think pediatritian

That depends on you and whether you've ever taken a language before. If you have, it shouldn't be too hard, and besides, it's worth the effort. It also depends on you. Winston Churchill flunked Latin I three times--he just couldn't get it. But most people aren't Churchills.
