This is one of the reasons why Latin is tought. You learn transferring a gramatically hard language into your own, having to learn the ins and out of your own language's grammar. No grammatically complex situation in your own language can fluster you afterwards.

Agree. That's how / why students best learn grammar: for / through a practical purpose. (Deciding the practicality of Latin must remain an exercise for the reader.)
