Agree re: Latin. I still remember sum, es, est, sumus, estis, sunt from many decades ago. :-)

Another point, I've worked with computer systems in 30+ countries. One time I asked a guy in Indonesia "Why do you folks all speak English? You don't really need to." He said "Oh...because all computer languages are written and documented in English first! We want to be knowledgeable about the newest code." Think about it...all of these STEM workers learned English to get ahead.
