About 60 years ago I was forced to study Latin in Catholic school. Given that I just barely speak English I can’t say I enjoyed it.However,the one thing I did find interesting is how many English words there are that have their roots in Latin.

Funny, my dad always says that's the only amusement he got in school (some 60 years ago), Latin class. Apparently the translations by 4th year students could be hilariously inaccurate.

I learned it at home, and enjoyed it without an audience.
