Greetings,
I’m trying to think through some things regarding learning a second language, and teaching my children a second language.
**I’m not including the Biblical languages in this discussion at this time.**
1. For a homeschooling family (kids are still only 2) with no secondary language knowledge (or need, considering we know only English speakers), is Latin a good choice to teach the children as a part of their education?
2. Or should we focus on a different language?
3. What are the arguments for/against learning Latin vs a living language?
4. What’s the philosophy behind Latin being the staple secondary language of a child’s education? I’ve heard it helps children to learn better in general?
5. Are Bibles that have different languages on opposite pages any good for language learning?
