Latin

Latin is the root of many modern languages, such as Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. Studying Latin helps you gain an understanding of the grammar, vocabulary and syntax of these languages. It also develops your communication skills, which can be useful in a variety of fields, such as law, journalism and academia. With the rapid emergence of technology in most industries, individuals who are able to comprehend complex learning material will be well-placed to succeed in a competitive job market.
