I am supplementing with Latin, which is different and complicated. She still learns it fairly fast, but it isn't immediate. There are subjects like that out there that take time to master.

I had plans to start Latin this summer with grandson, but changed my plans when he immersed himself in Greek mythology. I expanded the fascination for Greek mythology to include reading about Greek philosophers, mathmeticians, etc. And last week we(yes, we!) started to learn Koine Greek. Learning Greek is helping him with his handwriting and perseverance.
