I'm fairly new here and I just wanted to ask everyone what are/were your main motives for learning Latin?
Personally, I would describe myself as a lover of all knowledge. I am fascinated by all human knowledge and culture, but among others also history, linguistics, and philosophy. I already speak three languages (English, French, and Polish) and used to speak Spanish fluently too, but lost most of it from lack of use.
So, I think that Latin is a good language to learn given my interests and existing language background. I would like to eventually be able to read some original classical and later works.
