[Charles Henrickson]

I had classical Latin in high school and college, and ecclesiastical Latin at seminary--all Lutheran (LCMS) schools. Of course, as a pastor, I learned Greek, in order to read the New Testament. I have also taught Greek.

My daughter has had three years of Latin (grades 7-9) and now is in her second year of NT Greek at a classical Christian academy.

I have always advocated the study of Latin as a great part of becoming a well educated person. Studying Latin was the best thing for my English--understanding how grammar works, building my English vocabulary, etc. I also learned how to learn languages, which has helped in all the other languages I have studied (besides English, Latin, and Greek, also Hebrew, Aramaic, German, and Swedish).

I had two years of Latin in High school and it was my favorite subject. I would have taken more but no more was offered. I was too busy in college to pursue it further.

I have looked into taking Greek at a nearby university, but alas, they have dropped from their curriculum!!
