Latin or Spanish

Latin is easy to learn for persons fluent in English, and truer than you think. How so? But for French, Latin is closest to English. The abbreviated history of the English language is, Latin to French to English.

William of Normandy became the King of England in 1066. He spoke French, whose direct root is Latin. It was at that point that the language of the Angles and Saxons began mixing with French to form English, but it was not until Geoffrey Chaucer, who died in 1400 as the "Father of English poetry", that we have something like the English of today. By the time of William Shakespeare, who died in 1616, we have modern English.
​
Latin puts you roughly 1600 years closer in time to Jesus, and He spoke it exactly as it is spoken today. I've been attending the Latin Mass for four years. Two years of HS Latin give me a slight advantage because I understand the hard parts: word order and word endings.
​
However, learning the language of something you believe in is easy, and the substance of belief is not Spanish.
