Ah, you bring me back to Catholic high school where 4 years of Latin was mandatory. I LOVED it! Most didn’t but it is probably the most useful subject I ever studied - use it to this day when I come across a word I never heard before. And it really comes in handy when doing crossword puzzles.
It has very strict and complex rules of syntax - every word in a sentence has to agree in case, number and gender and the verb tenses are unreal!
Most kids today cannot even speak the language of their native country properly, let alone a ‘dead’ ancient one
