Latin

The root language of law, science, and the Romance family.

Latin is the classical language of Rome and the parent of French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian. Learning it covers a precise, highly inflected grammar, a vocabulary that still underpins law, medicine, and the sciences, and a literature running from Cicero and Virgil to the medieval and Renaissance scholars who kept learning alive, and it sharpens the way you read and write in any language.
