Does anyone study GCSE Latin AND Spanish?

Hey guys
Does anyone study GCSE Latin and Spanish (or french) ?

If you do, how is it studying both subjects as I'm not sure how hard it'll be ( for example too much memorisation )
Thanks

Hi! Im doing both for GCSE at the moment. I put grammar points for each language on different colour flash cards so I can separate the two in my mind. I find that lots of spanish words come from latin words so making connections between the two languages helps as you are sort of doing both at the same time.

Hi thanks for your reply

In terms of workload, does it sometimes become too much studying both Spanish & latin as i feel i might have too much memorising to do alongside my 2 other gcse options triple science and geography.
Thanks!

As well as Latin and Spanish, I'm doing triple science and history. For our end of year exams, I found that as long as you were fairly familiar with spanish vocab, you didnt need to spend as much time learning it. I had a couple of phrases that I remembered for the exam which I included in the writing. If you learn it as a phrase, it feels like less learning to do. For Latin literature, I used the chunking method where you remember the story in chunks. I had to read it over, memorise it, write it down, check it and repeat so learning the literature took longer. While looking at the translation, I looked at the most important techniques used, word order, cases and other stuff in each sentence or passage. For the language exam, I separated the vocab list into words that I did know and words that I was less familiar with and came up with something memorable to remember the tricky word. Like for example, to remember what quid meant, I would remember my latin teacher saying 'oh what do I have in my pocket? Its a quid!' So as I used these methods, I managed with the workload and got 95% as my average in latin.

I hope that this very waffly explanation helps.

Hey I did GCSE Spanish and Latin. The good thing about the two is that they are both Romance languages so the vocab is sort of similar, or at least connected. For grammar, if you can grasp Latin grammar then Spanish is a lot easier: Spanish is like Latin but with the words in the right order
