MY MOTHER MADE ME TAKE LATIN FOR MOST OF THE REASONS I SHARE NOW 30 YEARS LATER I AM STUDYING SPANISH. MY 2 YEAR BACKGROUND IN LATIN HAS MADE IT EASIER.

I THINK LATIN SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL BECAUSE IT MAKES LEARNING ITALIAN FRENCH SPANISH SO MUCH EASIER. FROM CONJUGATING VERBS TO VOWEL AND PRONUNCIATION OF VOWELS. ALSO LATIN IS VERY HELPFUL FOR LAW AND MEDICAL STUDENTS.
