If you are determined and truly interested, which you seem to be, I really don't think you will have problems. I thought Latin was an easy language to learn, and would have loved to had more than one year. But at that time, one was all I could get.

Too bad that you couldn't get more of it!

Well, what I find really interesting is that you find so many words in various languages that derivates from Latin. Of course there's a lot of it in Italian, Spanish and French, but you can also find a lot of it in the German or the English language. I find things like that very interesting.

And you may be right that determination and interest can be helpful. As long as I can remember, I always wanted to learn English, and I never had too many problems with it. On the other hand, for some reason I never really liked French (mostly because a cousin of mine always made such a fuss about it). And believe me, I was really bad at school when it came to French, even though I found out recently that I kept more of it in mind than I thought I would have.
