Latin was the mother tongue of western civilization
from classical times through the Renaissance, coming as close to a universal language as we ever have. Why study a "dead" language? Well, because it is actually very much alive. Knowledge of Latin allows access to some of the greatest, "living" texts of all time. But Latin is also an unparalleled academic discipline for the skills it imparts along the way.

As the mother Romance language, Latin dramatically expands English vocabulary and allows easy acquisition of the modern languages such as Spanish and French.
