Latin is a classical language rooted in Italic history. As the language of the Roman Empire, many of today’s languages have shared foundations with Latin. Also known as the language of love, Latin is a language that, while rarely practiced today, is a principal root in linguistics, which is the study of language.
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German (and Germanic languages), and even English have roots in Latin, making it a lynchpin in the commonality between those languages. If you’ve ever wanted to learn Latin, read the ancient tomes in their original wording.
Finding a teacher who is an expert in Latin would benefit you greatly in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing the language.

FAQ
Is Latin hard to learn?
In a word, yes. Latin is considered one of the more challenging languages to learn. There are many reasons why Latin is difficult, from complicated grammar rules, complex sentence structure, and lack of fluent native speakers to make it more difficult than other languages. It’s thought that to learn Latin fluently, students will need hundreds of hours of study to master the fine points of the language.
Is Greek or Latin more difficult to learn?
There’s little difference in difficulty between learning Greek and Latin. Both have specific rules to follow that aren’t the most logical to modern thinking, but they are both similar in grammar and sentence structure. Greek is a more fluid language than Latin, and the benefit of modern native speakers makes it more accessible to learn than Latin.
How much does it cost to learn Latin?
Like most language classes, it takes time to learn the foundations for fluency. The average cost for private Latin lessons ranges from $32 per half hour to over $200 per hour, depending on students' needs and interests. TakeLessons offers convenient in-person or online learning options at an affordable price to help fit everyone's needs and budgets.
