I totally agree with this statement, and that's why I decided to share it. As for me, this quote would be a good credo for those who learn foreign languages as their majors. When making any judgments about this language, we should take into account all the aspects about it. Students, scientists, philosophers, psychologists, and other professionals can benefit from a study of the Latin language, since most words were culled from Latin meanings. Learning Latin can also help improve a person's English composition, particularly prose, meanings of new words are easily known because the individual studying Latin gets to know the Latin origins of the words.  Science students or those planning to embark on careers in the medical profession will also find some knowledge of Latin quite helpful. When you learn this language, it doesn't mean that you will be fluent in it and would be able to read manuscripts. Foremost, you will be able to understand the structure of sentences and describe similarities and differences when comparing languages.Besides, if you are befriend with Latin language you have some prospects to be a good biologist or at last to work in this sphere.Just look outside the bubble, if you know Latin or another proto language, as for me, it gives you confidence and sometimes a chance to outsmart someone if it's necassary, of course.To sum up, I want to say that no matter what other people say or laugh at, if you want to be a well educated person, you have to do your best in finding benefits in learning and exploring something new and at that time old, as Latin is. Only fools laugh at the latin language.
