I don't know Latin, but I would say that French is easier because many of the words are simmilar (or even the same) as English. Taking French in high school doesn't exactly qualify you as being bilingual though. I once saw a comedian on TV here in Canada who said, "I speak two languages, English and high school French". I know exactly what he means. I've taken French all through school and have always gotten very high marks, but if you sent me off to Quebec or France I wouldn't last for five minutes. Maybe it's the teachers I had. I've had only two different French teachers since grade 5 (who were husband and wife). They were both really nice people and French was basically a slack-off class. We could talk to each other in class and often did things like make posters and collages. Of course you did have to memorise French words and phrases and be able to remember them for tests, which wasn't too difficult. Now I have a new French teacher (really annoying woman) for grade 11 who expects a lot more from us. Thankfully she's starting out with some easier things (I've only had 3 French classes this year though), but says that by the end of the semester that we'll be able to write an essay in French by ourselves (scary). I do actually think that I'll do well in it, but really do miss the old days!
