Language – Latin

The Latin language has been used much from early times till now, but there isn’t a country that goes with it like there is for other common languages.

Ok, so I’m currently doing Biology at university and most names/terms are derived from either latin or greek. I want to learn these two languages, perhaps only to a basic level, so as i can learn the literal meanings of the many terms used.

My son has a specific learning disability. He can’t learn languages because of this. In his chosen career field he has to learn latin names of trees and other nature items. He is really having a problem. Are there any tricks for this or tools he could use to try to help him get this [...]

My son is due soon, and i think it would make things easier for him in the future if he learns a new language when hes young. My boyfriend and i are considering only speaking Chinese and Pig Latin when he is born so he speaks the languages fluently before he even starts grade school. [...]

Well I speak 4 languages, so mastering grammar is pretty easy.

For example.. "I love _____", do I write "_____um amo."? (since -um is the accusative singular masculine ending? and then -am if the noun is singular feminine?)
Hope you understand my question. >< Thanks.
LATIN! Not Spanish nor other languages spoken in Latin America~

Please explain your reasons.
I was surprised to read somewhere that students who studied both languages found Latin somewhat more difficult than Ancient Greek.

If I study three hours a day, and able to pick up languages very quickly, how long will it take? Also, how hard is Latin? Thanks.

I need to make a fantasy story for school and I wanted to know if I could use any languages for magic or another race or something (like fire is incendia, ignis, flamma in Latin). Or would I have make up my own or get ideas from other languages but change them.

I heard that since all languages are derived from latin that once you have mastered latin you can master any language. Is this true?

By learning Latin first, will it become easier to learn French, Italian, Spanish, and other languages? If i missed some, could you inform me on what they are?
BTW, i’m going into law and i think it’s mandatory to learn Latin because of all the Latin-based terms.

a. There are more descriptive words available.
b.The languages are not currently being used and do not change.
c. The words are more easily understood.
d. Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and used his language.
THANK YOU!

Hi there.
I’ve just spent some time online and found it most interesting how English comes from Latin and Greek and I’d like very much to learn more about these languages, maybe even get to speak them one day. But I know that Latin is a dying langauge which is pretty sad all things considered. [...]

Hi, I want to learn Latin for the SAT’s and to help me learn other languages, but I dont know the best way to do it?
What is the best, most efficient way to learn Latin?

I know Latin has roots in many languages, but I’m not sure about either of these. I need to know for a class, links would be great!
10 points for the most imformative answer!
Also if Latin did have roots in Greece than did is there Latin roots in the names of stuff in greek mythology (Perseus, [...]

according to the Romanian Dictionary & Pharsebook it states "In the Latin linguistic family, composed of nine languages, Romanian has the fifth numerical place, after Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese." So what is left other than English?

I should clarify that I love *all* languages, French being my favorite foreign language thus far. — But I am increasingly fascinated by Latin, and I am looking for some resources with which I might study it. Tutors and classes, while the most compelling options, are not practical in this case.
So how do you suggest [...]

They both very old languages, and they’ve endured many rises and falls of civilizations and power.
However people still speak Arabic, and Latin has changed to make fundamental parts of other languages, but there is no culture that speaks Latin as a primary language.
Help me understand.
Thank You!
