I went through the American school system and back then, a long time ago - Latin was required, which made learning Spanish and other Romance languages easier. Learning Latin also made my medical career much easier. German is not based on Latin - I guess the Germanic tribes did not appreciate what the Roman legions did way back then. Now, it is different in the American school systems - and I don't understand what my children are saying - they claim to be speaking English . . .
