Why Study Latin?
As I have mentioned before, we started on Latin this year. For some strange reason I have always wanted to learn Latin! Must be the romantic in me…. oh, and yes, I am a linguist… that might explain some of it. Anyway, when we had our first lesson a few weeks ago, I was trying to explain to the children why we were going to learn Latin - a dead language. I had trouble explaining this, and they wouldn’t accept the main reason I had: “It will be fun!!!” My idea of fun and theirs’ is vastly different! 
I was very pleased, therefore, to come across all these wonderful reasons for learning Latin on Carla’s blog. Go and check it out HERE!
I feel so much better now :), I’ve got 14 reasons to tell my children why we are learning Latin!
(#14 is my addition: “IT’S FUN!!!!”)
