How will knowing Latin root woards help you? When? Where? Why?

Well, according to my dad he has always been saying that the English language is actually made up of multiple languages as I have learned to find out. Although the English language is made up of mostly LATIN it also composed of French, German, Greek, Roman (a.k.a. LATIN), and multiple of others. Although not as large in numbers like Latin, they still hold a vary important part of the English language.

Well obviously learning Latin would open up the door to the English language. From what I have heard from people that the language of Latin is a dead language. Although this may be true, but it will always stay alive as long people still learn Latin. So technically it is still alive, alive and well.

But how would it help one self, when, where and why? Well it is obvious as I have explained above. The majority of English is Latin, so when ever you speak English you are speaking Latin therefor Latin is helpful everyday, every situation, everywhere for the rest of your life.
