Why learn latin?

Well first off, it's awesome.

Second, if you speak English, you will be a much better English writer and speak much better as you gain understanding of much of your vocabulary while gaining new words. 60% of our vocabulary comes from latin.

Also, it helps with other romance language learning and strengthens your brain power. Every language does, but latin is different. Every sentence is like a puzzle and putting it together is fun and interesting as you discover ancient and mid-evil writers; much the caliber of Shakespeare even. (He is my favorite so that says a lot about Roman writers)

The best reason is above all that if your still in highschool, it is an amazing advantage on the SAT. In the vocabulary part, they'll give you words you never heard of and with the latin words it comes from memorized, it will be easy.

I recommended latin for everyone. It is not an abnormaly hard language like people say, very fun to learn.
