Why Study Latin• Latin helps with English grammar and
vocabulary. Approximately 60% of English words, 90% of words over two syllables, come from Greek and Latin.
• Because it is an inflected language, Latin helps with any foreign language study, but it is especially helpful for the study of the Romance Languages.
• Knowing Latin vocabulary is very useful for work in scientific and medical fields.
• Latin is very attractive to law schools because of its training in analytical and synthetic thinking.
• Latin is the living language of the Roman Catholic Church.
• Latin helps verbal SAT scores.
