Sure. When learning Latin, well, you learn to read and write Latin. You absorb the language's principles by learning the language, not by trying to highlight them in a language you already know. That can only give a much shallower appreciation.

Not quite true - many complexities of grammar are shared between the languages and it is often useful to structure the learning of Latin around the English patterns of grammar.
