Benefits of Latin

I think that Latin is one of the most useful languages I've tried to learn. I grew up in a Spanish program and learned a lot, but I think Latin has still been more beneficial. It's used everywhere I've discovered. Signs, books and medical terms all stem from this language. Even many of the worlds languages today have taken the Latin roots for their own meaning. I just think learning Latin vocab and how to efficiently translate has lead to to a better understanding of language in general.

It may have been tough for me to memorize at times, but it was truly worth it. I think Latin is a beautiful language and it is something everyone should look into because it really is transitory no matter what your native tongue is.
