I heard that this is the case but i am not sure any thoughts about it.

Speaking in Latin does not make rituals stronger. The reason that people associate Latin with a lot of rituals is predominantly because many old occult texts were written in Latin because it was a common language that many scholars church officials and educated laymen spoke due to the fact that for several centuries the most common language the bible was translated into was Latin so regardless of your native language, the sorts of people who would know about these texts and be reading them would be be able to read Latin.

It depends on how much store you set by the Latin. Does reciting the Latin give you that extra buzz? Do you feel more present and more like 'something is going to happen' than when you use your ordinary tongue?

Then go for it!

You should really practice magic in a language that you can actually speak and understand because if you don't know what you're saying Then the vocal aspect of ritual is not going to help focus your will ( there are exceptions, of course, But this is assuming that you're not performing Any form of rigid magic that does necessitate the usage of a specific language , in which case you should probably actually learn at least the basics of the language and what you are saying before you attempt the magic)

It doesn't make the rituals stronger per se...

but it can sound really cool, which on itself can be a catalyst.
