Im in my freshman year of latin, im doubling up on it in my sophmore to finish it & to take french junior & senior year. But so far its soooo confusing & will it help me in the future ? Im fluent in Spanish & it helps some what to remember certian words. by the end of my highschool year i will be knowing 4 languages; English, Spanish, Latin, and, French.

How does a college level Latin or Greek course differ from that of a modern language?

I speak English, Spanish, and Italian, and for all of the classes I've taken over these, it has been full language immersion from day 1. I can't imagine the classical languages are like this, especially Latin. So what is a typical class like. Is English spoken or must you speak in the foreign language? What do you do. Any insight into this issue would be appreciated. Also, I'm looking for specifics for Latin vs Greek. Thanks.
