Are there any legitimate benefits to learning Latin?

Asked by GeorgeGee (4930points) September 29th, 2010

I’ve heard people say it’s good to learn Latin because it makes learning other languages easier. Isn’t that like saying kids should learn to drive a forklift because it will make learning to drive a car easier? Why not just start learning a language that’s genuinely useful and interesting, and still actually used?
