Regardless of whether you’re a serious student of language or not, learning Latin can help you in more ways than
you can imagine. The most important one being that most of the medical, legal, and even governmental jargon used
today is based on Latin. So, if you’re sufficiently trained in speaking and understanding Latin, you’ve already
understood half of these discourses without even realising.

Studying Latin teaches you more than just the language itself. Instead, it gives you an insight into the
linguistic roots of the English language and inculcates critical thinking skills. This is a significant advantage
for you no matter what nature of work you choose. Learning Latin is an integral part of understanding classical
civilisation. For century after century, the cultures and languages that evolved have kept their Latin roots as we
still see so evidently today. Languages such as Germanic and Latin integrated to form what is known as English
today.

Latin also indirectly improves your skills in English since two-thirds of the English language is derived from
Latin. These skills will prove quintessential for you, whether you’re writing your thesis or drafting up a legal
notice for court. In fact, it has been reported that people who take Latin through their undergraduate studies
score some of the highest-grade points in the LSATS.

Latin is offered in various universities under Bachelor’s in Classics or as Bachelor’s in Modern Languages and
Latin.

Once you’ve completed your undergraduate, there are a number of options that you can take, the most obvious one
being a masters in classical studies or a master’s in classics and ancient civilisations. An excellent option for
you if you find the linguistic nature of learning Latin interesting.

Alternatively, if you’re interested in Latin culture, you might be interested in doing a master’s in
Hispanic-American literature or renaissance Latin culture. Latin America has some of the longest and richest
histories on earth. Getting such a master’s degree would make you an expert in working on international forums with
Latin Americans.

There are a number of reasons why top medical schools emphasise a classical liberal arts education alongside
clinical medicine. The most important reason is that most medical terminologies are derived from Latin. In fact,
Latin is used as a universal language in medicine, as doctors from all over the world must speak the same language
to be able to communicate with each other.

Studying Latin before medicine makes the process of memorising the entire anatomical and physiological structure
of the body extremely easy. Since most of them have been named quite literally according to their functions in
Latin, and the same terminologies have been passed down to doctors for generations. Even today, when new
anatomical or physiological structures are found, they are named in Latin. Learning Latin will help you
subconsciously make connections with the name of the disease and thus quickly administering the treatment.

Not only does studying Latin help you during your academic career, but rather it also helps you in your career as
a physician. From accurately diagnosing the disease to writing better patient histories and effective
communication with patients.

Latin may be an ancient language, but it has certainly not lost its value. Latin seeps through the very
foundations of modern English. There are hardly a few languages that can boast such dominance in every major
field. Learning Latin might help you in getting a number of surprising careers!

your goals. Lessons will also push students in areas that they are already comfortable with, encouraging constant
improvement and developing positive learning habits.
