Latin: start at 7 or wait until 10?

Started Prima Latina at age 7 - light, song-based, very low pressure. By 10 she was ready for Latina Christiana.

Waited until 10 and it was fine. Latin requires pattern recognition that comes easier with a slightly older brain.

Age 8 was our sweet spot. Old enough for grammar concepts; young enough to absorb chants effortlessly. Improved English grammar dramatically.

Earlier is better only if it stays joyful. A positive experience at 10 beats a traumatic one at 7 every time.
