>>25191877Based. I'm working on learning Ancient Greek and it's incredibly satisfying going through Xenophon and gradually expanding my understanding, recognizing certain words and phrases, how suffixes are used, how prefixes change meaning, etc., at a gut level rather than constant parsing. I hope someday I can read Homer fluently.
>>25191877why would I learn a language that has barely any surviving literature?
>>25191877Greek and Latin are those kind of languages that are obviously valuable if your (usually rich) parents already put you through the wrangler of learning it from a young age (like for Tolstoy), but where the gap between effort andpayoff is a bit larger for anyone wishing to learn it later. Doesn't mean its not worth it, but i have a lot of sympathy for people learning, yknow, spanish or french first rather than greek or latin.
