If one was to learn Latin would you be able to look at a Spanish or Portugese or Italian newspaper and get the gist of it ?? Im Irish and 16 and I also speak fluent German, and I can get the gist of Dutch Newspapers coz I regularly buy them for fun to see how much I can understand, I also speak french and I can get the gist of newspapers written in Luxembourgish (a very rarely spoken language) …. Is there the same similarity between Latin and Spanish?

Answers from people who studied Latin or people who know about Linguistics would be a god send

and thanks to all who answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
