Interesting you should bring this up. I took 4 years of Latin in high school because my mother was a Latin teacher (not my teacher though). I thought (dumb me), great! my mother can help my with my Latin. She did help, but it still wasn't easy. I do have to admit that Latin has been very beneficial both in my prior career (nursing) and later (law). So many medical and legal words are of Latin derivation in addition to standard words that are part of everyday vocabulary for all of us, regardless of our language. I have to admit, I certainly could not put together a sentence in Latin today if you paid me!
