I'd like to take advantage of my knowledge of Latin to learn a modern language. I suppose French, Italian or Spanish might be good. I do plan to travel around the US and Canada. Would any particular language benefit me in those travels?

Anyway, I'll leave it at that for now. Any thoughts?
I do admire your ambition to learn a second language. I have enough problems remembering English! Too old, too tired and too lazy---not to mention too little time for me to learn one. But I'm a big fan of anybody willing to make the effort and take the time to actually do it. Fore!
