There was reason, and one reason only that I chose Spanish instead of Latin as my 2nd foreign language in HS was because of the nun that taught it - she and I didn’t get along in the least. I had no choice with her for music and religion, I sure as heck wasn’t going to willingly choose to take one of her classes
In H my Spanish teacher was from Ecuador, but had been educated in Spain, she was a lot of fun and did teach us a bit of slang for fun. She also understood it was difficult for many of us taking French 3 and Spanish 1 at the same time and was pretty lenient on us when we used a French word instead of the Spanish word, as long as it was the proper word and in the correct usage.
Ursuline?
Sacred Heart?
Dominican?
Hats of to you! Learning two languages at the same time is very difficult. I was attempting Romanian and German at the same time in college. Romanian is very similar to Spanish in many respects, and I was surprised at how “Latinized” German was.
I remember answering questions in Romanian to the German professor as you noted happened to you with French/Spanish.
