Latin has helped me in a numerous amount of ways, but i think it helps the most when it comes to deciphering English words that I do not know. When I see words in English that I do not know the definition of, I can use a Latin word that the English word derives from to try and figure out the basic meaning of the English word. Also, you learn a little bit about different countries and thier cultures by following the life a the character Quintus. See Quintus basically travels the world, and see's and meet's different people and places along the way. By following him, you also learn a great deal about the cultures he visits. Latin is also interesing because it is a dead language. No one else in the world speaks it anymore, although all other languages derive from it.
