A Surprising Latin Revival
Latin, once considered a relic of the past, is experiencing a remarkable resurgence. But what is driving this newfound fascination with an ancient language?
Evidence of the Revival
According to the National Latin Exam's website (www.nle.org), a staggering 148,000 students registered to take the exam last year. In North Carolina, the number of participants skyrocketed by 156%, while Nevada saw an 84% increase. Surprised to learn about the National Latin Exam? It's time to catch up?"Latin is trendy once again.
Pop Culture Influence
A major factor in Latin's revitalization is its presence in pop culture. The wildly popular Harry Potter series, beloved by young readers, frequently uses Latin as the language of magic. The first book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," even has a complete Latin translation: "Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis." If your child is diving into this version, their schooling is truly enhancing their skills.
Latin in Cinematic Attractions
Latin has also appeared in films, adding to its allure. Mel Gibson’s "The Passion of the Christ," featuring dialogue in Latin and Aramaic, has sparked interest among many Christians eager to read the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible historically used by the Roman Catholic Church.
Academic Advantages
Research indicates that students studying Latin tend to achieve higher SAT scores, a compelling reason for parents to encourage its study. Latin enhances English comprehension and sharpens overall language skills, providing lasting academic benefits.
Conclusion
As Latin's reputation evolves from arcane to appealing, more schools and universities are incorporating it into their curricula. If Latin hasn't piqued your interest yet, it just might when your child asks for a bedtime reading in Harrius Potter.
