IWTL the Latin language. (lemmy.eco.br)

I would like to learn it because it's "the language of the smart", and because that would make a very interesting hobby. I already know some words from Duolingo, but I still need to expand the vocabulary and get some grammar. One of my biggest problems is the way that I manage my time.

Great choice! It is used a LOT in science, law, medicine.

If you learn a neo-latin language (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian.. - French is weird), it can help a lot. English has borrowed some, too.

Oh, and there are lots of books written in Latin. Religious, philosophical, historical.

Thank you. I'm a native Portuguese speaker, so a good deal of stuff is already natural for me. (Cough, cough, pronunciation)
