Nobody speaks Latin in everyday life.

I know many who use it daily. That said, Latin cannot change, it cannot become woke. Its meaning can never change, that is the strength of using Latin. No one need know Latin to worship Almighty God but it is very simple to pray along using the English - Latin translation in your missal. Used from an early age, it is quite easy to pick up a good bit of the language. Even three year olds at my parish can make the shortest responses. At five, boys are allowed to start serving at the altar, they learn easily.

The Gospel is always proclaimed in the local tongue at Mass and, of course, missionaries teach in the local language.
