Latin for American Schools

About the Book

This book is designed for American students who are in middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities, law schools, medical schools, and so on. Some may argue that learning to speak Latin could help reinforce your knowledge of root words to assist in learning other languages. There may be some truth to this view as many languages utilize derivatives of Latin words in their spellings and meanings. By having prior knowledge of how the root words are created, you can theoretically have a deeper understanding of the language you are studying. Whether you are a scholar, curious, or you’re bored at home, learning a new language can enlighten you about the culture from which it came. Understanding Latin could open deeper understanding into your primary language. Sentence structure could begin to make more sense, and you could use your prowess of speaking Latin at parties to become the center of attention.
