I had always heard about the importance of learning Greek and Latin but didn’t really see the benefit til I started speaking Spanish and noticed the similarities between Spanish and big words in English which were Latin or Greek based. I got a perfect score on the vocabulary section of the SAT
I remember having trouble believing that English comes from German but when you see it written out it is obvious. English is unique because it’s a Germanic language with a bunch of Latin and Greek based words. At least I think that is unique.

It'd also be nice to be able to read ancient texts.
