In English 1 last year Latin was a great help. I used it when working on vocab and while reading the Homers the Odyssey. While working on vocab we had to guess the definition the look up the actual meaning. An understanding of Latin vocab and words helped me to answer correctly or at least get close to the right definition of a word. Also while reading the Odyssey having background knowledge of Roman culture was a big help. As the Romans took many ideas from the Greeks this was useful to understanding the book. Austin Shaunfield
