Latin is a prime gateway to learning other languages in general, mainly because so much of Western grammatical understanding comes through the lens of both Greek and Latin. Therefore, knowing more about Latin grammar really opens up one’s understanding about English. It also provides us with a historical context that is hard to rival. (Kevin Mahoney)
