| Nowadays it's quite hard to find a learning resource for Latin but many years ago it was a regular school taught subject just like Maths and English. The reason for this is because Latin is the source of most of the words we use everyday languages. Knowing the root of so many words makes it easy to understand countless English words and to pick up the basics of any Romance language. At least 60% of words in the English language are derived from Latin and most, if not all, of the 206 bones in your body are Latin so if you are a scientist or planning to go into medicine, learning Latin will be a great bonus. |
