[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do students opt for Latin over languages that are widely spoken like Spanish or French?[/quote] Because Latin is the basis for Spanish, French, Italian and a host of other languages. If you understand Latin, you can generally read with some comprehension the deriviative languages off of Latin. Maybe can't speak it but comprehend it. Also, Spanish and French aren't tested on the SAT/ACT but being able to understand root meanings of words are...i.e., Latin. [/quote]
