What are the differences and similarities of Latin and Spanish?
I've been taking spanish for three years (middle school) and I haven't done as well as I would like to. I am thinking of switching to latin next year (high school) for my foreign language. Any knowledge on the subject would be appreciated.

Latin nouns change form according to their use in the sentence much like verbs in many languages do and because of that, they come in family-like groups called declensions. Spanish nouns do not change form. Also, Latin has nouns that are masculine, feminine and neuter; Spanish has only masculine and feminine nouns. Latin has no articles (connecting words) such as “the” or “a” or “an”; Spanish does. Latin is far more difficult to learn than Spanish.

Not many people speak Latin these days. I would stick to Spanish because it's the most used foreign language in the USA. It can help a lot with career jobs.

The similarity of the Encomienda System and British slave method is healing of the slaves----harsh, unjust, and inhumane. The variations could be the believe legislation and the feudal associations. (I am now not certain) **************************************... I am from Thailand. We additionally had slave method in my nation. The slaves are the deficient who didn't have homes and needed to subservient to the wealthy. The healing of slavery in Thailand also are harsh and inhumane. It took over 30 years to loose the all slaves in Thailand. With the intelligence of The king Rama V---we didn't have battle and no person useless throughout the emancipation generation.
