[quote=Anonymous]I guess I've never quite understood the desire to learn Latin. One can read the classics in the original, I suppose. However, learning, say, a romance language would enable one to talk to actual people, and one would also have access to popular music, news programs etc. in that language that many language teachers use to help students develop an ear for the language and move toward fluency more quickly. While I've heard people argue that learning Latin give insight into English, I think much of the same insight can be gained from learning a romance language, since those are all based on Latin and many of the word roots are the same. Also, English really is more of a Germanic language. [/quote]
