I love all the Latin. Such a beautiful dead language. Three of my older kids are taking a classical Grammar course that has them translating the bible from Latin to English and back and then translating it into modern English. I can’t believe how quickly they are picking it up and how many of the words are almost English. I truly believe it will help them learn foreign languages down the road.

It will. Latin is a core language for the truly literate.
