The language immersion technique. Upper middle class families did this to give their kids an edge at school and in professions such as law and medicine. Widely used in recent times.

Don't speak Latin, but enjoyed learning it at Varndean with Charlie Law. Still remember a few odds and sods.

Had to do it at school.
I don’t remember much
Caecilius in viā est
Caecilius is in the street.
That general sort of useless crap.

Pretty sure me and the Mrs had that in Lake Garda. It's the creamy dish with mushrooms, right?

3 years in school, can't remember a damn thing but all these years later somehow understand quite a bit (reading at least) when in Italy/France/Spain.

The late, great and slightly quirky Paul Watson educated me in such back in the day.
No. A few phrases are used in mathematics and I sometimes use et al in work emails. Stet was another I used when reviewing paper documents but this was a few decades ago, I now review electronically.
That Caecilius bloke really got around as he was in my Latin classes as well.
Anyway did two years Latin taught by Piggy Watson at Stringer. Buggered if I can remember any. Actually buggered might be Latin - I believe the Romans were in to that.
