I took Latin too, but thought it was a waste of time. However I studied languages a lot, and now find that it actually did help a little. I guess that shows how short-sighted we can be when we're young? I always recall reading this carved on a desk:
Latin is a dead language,
As dead as dead can be;
First it killed the Romans,
And now it's killing me!
