I took two years of Latin in high school. I still remember the basics and it has more or less served me well. I think it made learning Spanish, which I also took in high school and college, easier.
"Puella in silva est" - "the girl is in the forest" was one of the first exercises that I remember to this day ;-p
- rietta 7y agoHaving memorized the Lord's prayer in Latin is a fun party trick in some circles too :-)
