Latein – ja oder nein?

(A)  Lange Zeit war es in Deutschland ein UNVERZICHTBARER Teil der höheren Bildung: Latein. Vieles sprach dafür: Die Beschäftigung mit dieser alten Sprache zwang Schüler dazu, detaillierte Grammatik-Kenntnisse zu erwerben. 
(B)  Wer weitere Fremdsprachen lernen wollte, konnte IN DER REGEL auf dieser Basis aufbauen. Nicht nur Grammatik, auch ein Großteil des Vokabulars findet sich in modernen romanischen Sprachen wieder. Selbst für das Englische sind Lateinkenntnisse sehr nützlich. 
(C)  Und schließlich basiert im Deutschen fast das ganze Spektrum an Fremdwörtern auf der lateinischen Sprache. Anders ausgedrückt, wer Latein kann, hat kein Problem, sich auf einem hohen sprachlichen Niveau auszudrücken.
(D)  Und doch legen neue Studien nahe, dass man heutzutage besser Zeit und Mühe in das Lernen einer modernen Fremdsprache investieren sollte. In unserer globalisierten Welt kann man nicht früh genug damit beginnen, sich Sprachen anzueignen, in denen man konkret mit anderen Menschen kommunizieren kann. Wer dann noch Zeit und Lust und Energie hat, kann Latein ja jederzeit als Hobby betreiben.

17_Latein - ja oder nein?

Il cavallo e l'asino viaggiano insieme sulla strada, quando, ad un tratto, l'asino chiede al cavallo di prendere un po' del suo carico: l'asino si sente molto stanco e teme di poter morire. Il cavallo rifiuta la sua proposta ma ben presto si pentirà di averlo fatto.

  In some languages, the pronunciation of the letters remains constant, never changing or change very little.  Czech and Spanish are two examples.  English isn't like this.  We have long vowels short vowels and combinations of vowels.  Sometimes the pronunciation seems to change without reason.  Moreover, the speling rarely helps. Consider these three words:  food, blue, and blew - The vowel sounds are all the same, go figure.Has anybody ever looked at you after listening and asked, 'What?'  Last week, my student said through and I heard throw and was totally lost.
