According to the Ministry of Education next year Polish secondary school students will be learning Latin. The new curriculum stipulates that there will be as many as four hours per week of Latin in all Polish high schools.
There will be no problem in large cities, but in smaller towns there may be some difficulties with finding teachers. Currently Latin is a very rare subject in Polish schools.
Latin is commonly on the curricula in Germany, France and Italy.
A universal language ain't a bad idea either. But, what's wrong with
Esperanto? It's easier to learn and was invented in Poland. If you don't know about
Esperanto click the link.
The solution to the problem, IMHO, is to enlist the aid of local parish clergy. Seems to me every neighborhood and village has a Catholic Church - and, I'd hope they all are familiar with Latin - the dead language.
I wonder when English will become a dead language.
