Reefgazer Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I think the connection to our Western heritage/history, and Latin as one of the foundations of our own language is what makes it a superior learning experience for our family. I have been moved by the arguments for Latin, but, playing devil's advocate, why would Latin be preferred to another extremely grammar-intensive, inflected language like Russian? This is a question that I have posed to 8 before, but I am curious if others have thoughts as well. Russian has even more the same number of cases as Latin and, as a modern language in high demand (and with an incredible literary heritage to boot), what advantage does Latin have? (Bonus points because I actually have a degree in Russian.)
