Have you ever thought to yourself: “If I can’t read Cicero fluently, what’s the point of even starting to learn Latin?”
This “all-or-nothing” mindset is one of the most common and paralyzing myths in language learning. It treats Latin like a massive, impossible mountain, suggesting that the only thing that matters is the view from the very top.
But this robs you of the incredible joy and profound benefits you can experience all along the journey.
What if “mastery” isn’t the only point? What if the point is…
💫 The thrill of reading your very first complete beginner story in Latin?
💫 The satisfaction of understanding a famous motto without a translation?
💫 The quiet joy of seeing the ancient roots of your own language?
💫 The pleasure of spending 15 minutes each day with a fascinating story?
The truth is, there is immense value and enjoyment to be found at every single level of Latin.
Imagine learning Latin not as a test you might fail, but as a rewarding hobby you can enjoy today, and every day.
Stop waiting for a perfect future. The point of learning Latin is the learning itself.
