I was not considered clever enough to earn Latin or German (it was either/or not both) at the 11+ school. However what French I learned taught me to realise that, English excepted, languages had genders and the word orders in sentences were very different. This was a help when I taught myself some other languages (none fluent). I don't think Latin would have helped more from the experience of a few lessons in it. Our Latin Master was a proper Caesar strolling around in his academic gown as if it was a toga. Dare anyone run along the corridor outside his class and sometimes our art class next door was unable not to react when he was ranting and raving. The master disappeared in the store room sometimes after threatening to send us into his classroom |
