I studied Latin starting in the 6th grade.

"Classical Latin" they called it, with a different pronounciation ruleset, but Latin nonetheless.

By the 12th grade, was also having to study the Greek.

Knowing the basics of those two languages makes it much easier to understand English words, whose prefixes and suffixes are often based on the Latin or the Greek.

It also is a huge help in knowing how to spell various English words, as well as their roots in definitions, etc.

Look, it is not Mac who coined the term, "dead language" to describe the Latin, this was done by scholars who lived long before I was even a gleam in me wee father's eye, both the Legal and the Scientific communities embraced the Latin for their definitions and terms for that stated reason.

You have a radio show where Latin is used, but that does not equate to the same given situation, for the country you live in does not use Latin as its core language in every day speaking.
