Literally just learn them. For the effort expended (a few years at most, and you'll still be able to maintain a social life and read in English), the rewards are immense. You'll get to enjoy a lifetime of reading in them. A hundred years ago every educated man could read them. Not to mention that learning to read other romance languages will be a joke after this.With the advent of AI it's never been easier to learn languages on your own, at this point your're just lazy and a midwit.>hurr durr i dont have timeThen stop cooming and watching tiktok and browsing 4chan>but i will miss out on reading by studying themNo, most of the learning of these languages is reading in them to build up to fluency>i can just read translationsok, your loss, lazybones
fr though, I feel you shouldnt be allowed in /lit/ if you dont know at least half of these languages
>>24966635>Just barely scraped by with German and Frenchwew at least I'm ahead of 99% of my fellow Australians
>>24966608>A hundred years ago every educated man could read them.by compulsion, not choice.
>>24966608>tfw born in Germany, fluent in English, learned Latin in schoolDid I luck out? I chose French (not quite fluent yet) over Greek though. What is your main argument for Greek over French? Obviously there's Homer, but the philosophers you can read in translation without any drawbacks.

>>24966701funny how people go to such lengths to try and signal that they’re educated and refined but still can’t outgrow ‘based and redpilled.’ telling.
>>24966712>can’t outgrow ‘based and redpilledAuto revealed your own physiognomy with this one lmao
>>24966745I can just see you sucking the cheeto dust off your stubby fingers as you typed this out.
>>24966608What are the benefits? Im curious. Im learning ancient greek, but simply for the joy of learning the language.
>>24966712The master and the beginner are one and the same
>>24966712An education worn, not absorbed.
>>24966781>>24966701this dude is insanely enlightened
>>24966796lol
>>24966750I bench way more than you. You're obviously projecting lmao
THERE IS NOTHING WRITTEN IN GERMAN, NOR IN FRENCH, THAT MERITS LEARNING THOSE LANGUAGES.
>>24966813
>>24966843All scholarship from the 18-20th centuries proves you wrong. As you are uneducated I don't expect you to know that.
>>24966608are german and french for reading books a good way of learning to read these languages
>>24966846>All scholarship from the 18-20th centuries proves you wrong.?
>>24966848Classics, history, literature etc etc.
>>24966872ALL MEDIOCRE, OR DRIVEL.
>>24966843>>24966882proof that namefags provide nothing of value
>>24966890SO, TO YOU, «SOMETHING OF VALUE» IS AN OPINION THAT CONCURS WITH YOUR OWN?
>>24966901cant imagine myself ever namefagging on a vietnamese cp board
>>24966608Learning languages just for the sake of it is for performative pseuds.
Having said that I am gay.
That was before high quality translations were widely available.You'd be better off learning classical Chinese.
>>24966845Okay that one's pretty funny
>>24966924>He can't perform They have pills for that now.
>>24966701is this legit
>>24966847I've seen them get recommended and being used. I've used them a little and they seem good. There are many methods, people have different preferences so you should try a few methods.https://libgen.li/edition.php?id=142241445https://libgen.li/edition.php?id=138807138For German I also recommend this:https://libgen.li/edition.php?id=137935102or thishttps://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b312900They're almost identical. The latter is the original from the 30s, the former is the edited reprinting from the 90s which has a shitty modern short story added at the end. The former is more legible though.I like James H Worman's books for German, French and Spanish and Peter Hagboldt's books for German, for example these two books by Worman:https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.32044086595022https://archive.org/details/erstesdeutsches00wormgoogI also like this for French:https://archive.org/details/tudeprogressiv00steruofthttps://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf8XN5kNFkhflcVugPunItKw7Bpdhpi_OI also like interlinears such as:https://archive.org/details/interlinear-german-reading-book-hahn-thimm-1901-marlborough
