Although a dead language, many people continue to learn Latin today. Latin was the language of the Ancient Roman Empire but continues to be used by scholars, scientists, and linguists today.
Over time, aspects of Latin were the building blocks of Romance languages, which include Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. Additionally, many Latin words have been adopted by the English language. For example, the words scholar, nautical, and lingual derive from the Latin word schola, nauta, and lingua respectively. Latin words are also used in biology and medicine to name substances, animals, and so on.
So if you are studying up on SAT or ACT vocabulary words, learning a new Romance language, working in the field of science, or a scholar of ancient Rome, learning Latin may be a good idea for you.
