I had 8 years of French in school, so that was my foreign language background. Since then we have backed off of French study and my son is now learning Latin. I have never studied Latin, but in doing the lessons with him find that I know many of the answers.Kelly https://www.blogger.com/profile/10563623937012064727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20635720.post-10562511797259898422015-04-30T08:33:12.301-05:002015-04-30T08:33:12.301-05:00Hi Kelly,

Do you mind if I ask why you chose French instead of Spanish or Chinese or Latin for a foreign language? I love the French language - I took 4 years of it in high school, had several French exchange students stay with us, Tales of Kindnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813083472222196525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20635720.post-40948319985897232902015-04-03T15:43:57.267-05:002015-04-03T15:43:57.267-05:00Oh, I'm so glad it was helpful!

The main reason is that the 8 children in his class are all on different levels; only 3 of them are in Saxon 8/7.
