i’m fluent in english, and i know a few english majors in my country who aren’t.
dont waste time learning latin to just then get into spanish, this sounds crazy to me.
edit: nowadays spanish has no relation with latin whatsoever.
however latin doesn’t sound so hard for us (speakers of portuguese/spanish)
but when we are talking about foreigners, it’s a different thing, they wont have the same “feeling” for it, therefore they are not that apt to recognize latin words as the natives of spanish or any other romanic language.
the “”““spanish””“” that you’re thinking is called catalan, it’s not the mainstream spanish.
