[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin. Seriously, it helps them understand English so much better.[/quote] And you can talk to Julius Caesar. Somebody always suggests Latin, and it’s such a stupid suggestion[/quote] You are really showing your ignorance. My DC took Latin in high school, and it really gave them a thorough understanding of how language is structured. DC has since studied three other languages (including non Latin based ones) and says it has been a tremendous advantage in learning other languages because it has provided a framework and understanding of grammar, syntax, and so forth. There is a reason so many academically serious kids study Latin. It's like studying ballet for a dancer or classical music for a musician. Once you have some mastery of those, it makes other disciplines a lot easier to learn. [/quote]
