Latin can be useful to know in all settings. This includes the other classes at school. One time knowing Latin has come in handy was during history where I understood the word pyrrhic because of a Latin class previously that week. We learned it discussing the battles Hannibal fought to get to Rome, and the discussed the word later in the context of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Knowing important, complex vocabulary can help in all contexts and it makes me feel smarter to be able to make those connections.
