I'm curious to see your thoughts :)

Personally i learn it just for fun, and i like how similar romance languages are to Latin.

Same, but I want to learn a language of every type before my time comes. I'm native at Arabic and it is really interesting hearing other semitic languages, I understand 5-10% Hebrew and 40% of Maltese (some people even consider it a dialect of it lol)

I want to learn at least one Slavic, romance, Germanic and sinaic language. My choices for them are ukrainian, Latin and Esperanto, Dutch and very basic Chinese since logographic languages interest me :) (ofc I am not learning all of these at once lol, these are languages I am interested in)

And Roman senators/writers were hilarious, especially Catullus. It's interesting to see how these people are human like us and had day to day lives and are not some ancient alien race we treat them as.
