I'm no academic, but I'd like to know what level of proficiency is required.

Those two are the easiest languages on the earth to learn.

French is taught at BYU in accelerated sessions so that you can achieve third year proficiency in two semesters.

German follows many Latin characteristics with a German wordstock.

I'm still struggling just reading basic sentences in Greek, so if you can do Greek, you will fly in those languages.

With Latin, you find French grotesquely easy. And then just read.
