IT IS STILL VERY WORTHWHILE TO STUDY LATIN: 65% OF THE ENGLISH WE SPEAK IS BORROWED FROM LATIN. THIS VOCABULARY PROVIDES US WITH A RICH VARIETY OF WAYS TO EXPRESS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO SAY. (FRUSTRATION RISES AS THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE DECLINES.) LATIN GIVES ANY STUDENT A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF ENGLISH AND LEADS TO MORE ACCURACY IN ENGLISH. THE ROMAN CULTURE GIVES US MUCH INSIGHT INTO OUR OWN WESTERN CULTURE: OUR ATTITUDES TOWARD WOMEN, WAR, POLITICS, ART, RELIGION, LAW, ET AL.
