Véronique

If you  wonder why you should learn Latin, here are fews goods reasons to do it.
Learning Latin holds great importance for several reasons. Firstly, Latin is the foundation of many modern Romance languages, such as French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. By studying Latin, one gains a deeper understanding of the roots and structures of these languages, making it easier to learn and master them. Additionally, Latin is the language of ancient Rome, which had a significant impact on Western civilization, including its legal, political, and cultural systems. Exploring Latin texts allows us to delve into the rich history, literature, and philosophy of the ancient world. Moreover, Latin enhances critical thinking skills, as it requires analyzing complex grammar and sentence structures. It also improves vocabulary and linguistic precision, as Latin words often form the basis of scientific, medical, and legal terminology. Overall, learning Latin not only provides a gateway to understanding our linguistic heritage but also fosters intellectual growth and a deeper appreciation for our cultural roots.

Are you now convinced that learning Latin is a great thing ? So let's start !
