I need help in that area. My daughter *really* wants to take Spanish. She'll also be taking a Speech class (very necessary imo). I'm not going to go gung ho on the Abeka Grammar/Comp..we'll take it easy there. She'll be learning some Latin/Greek terms in History..perhaps for 7th grade that would be sufficient? Suggestions?

Do you think she can take on both? Maybe she can just do the Latin exercises/puzzles/games at www.quia.com ..

It won't be as formal, but she'll probably find that they help her with Spanish. I speak Spanish and I have two young boys who are learning it (grudgingly.) I point out the similarities between everyday Spanish words and their Latin counterparts, even ones I never stopped to think were almost exactly the same. If she excels in Spanish, Latin should be much, much easier when she gets to the point of formal studies.
