Default Roman Catholics: Do many Catholic Churches teach parishioners Latin?

I know that one can always attend a Latin Mass. I'm just curious if you all have come across parishes that do this.

A few still have the Latin mass. But there aren't any that I know of that actually teach the language.

most parishes still have a Latin mass, there are prayer books there for those who wish to use them
i was an altar boy from 1943-1950 and i can still rattle off a lot of phrases and prayers in the Latin.
i still have the missals from 1949 and 1962 with both Latin and English

I doubt it. I got my Theology degree from an RC seminary, and we didn't even learn Latin there.

Traditional Catholic schools do. There are many candidates for the priesthood
because of this and the teaching of the actual Catechism of Trent.

Traditional Catholics at traditional mass.org/ (see the photo of the new school)
