Latin is the mother of Romance languages, as you should know, and thus to have greater understanding of such languages one may learn Latin; knowing Latin allows us to make more sense of numerous modern languages. Linguists try preserving dead and dying languages for such reasons. It's no secret that learning Latin provides a person with a greater grasp on vocabulary in English and Romance languages. (English is related to German, which is not Romantic, but ~1/3 of our vocabulary is comprised of French vocabulary.)
