That sounds brilliant. I am studying Latin for a number of reasons. Firstly, I love language; I have been studying modern foreign languages (German, French and Russian) for as long as I can remember. I felt it was time for a change; I wanted to learn one of the older languages.
Secondly, I have a keen interest in Roman history, however I feel that although it is interesting, reading it in translation is not half as rewarding as reading the actual original texts in Latin.
Thirdly, there are so many words in English, German and French that have been borrowed from Latin that I felt I just have to learn Latin.
If you care for corrections of your English:
The phrase "senseful texts" is not possible in English - "senseful" is not a word in this context. Better would be "texts that make sense", or "coherent texts", although this second one sounds a little strange out of context.
The word "advice" is a noun in English. The verb, which is what you wanted, is "advised".
If you are offended by my correcting your English, tell me. If so, I apologise.

If I am so brave as to attempt to write in Latin, please correct any mistakes I may make. Thank you
