Should I learn Latin?
>>
Why didn’t you take it in high school?
>>
>>25205395
The communists decided to stop teaching it in the 1940s.
>>
Just learn Greek. Better language and better material to read unless you like reading bad copies from original work.
>>
>>25205398
no they didnt.
you lying piece of shit
>>
>>25205383
No, there's no point anymore.
>>
>>25205427
Yes, they did.
>>
>>25205383
Only if you wish to read Roman and medieval writers. Otherwise no, Greek is a far better language to learn.
>>
>>25205383
I just started learning it and although I haven't exactly learnt a lot yet, I can already tell it is far far easier than people make it out to be. It's already easier for me than learning German, and it is such a beautiful language to be able to speak.
>>
>>25205383
even for the arcane art of grammar alone which would put you ahead of your contemporaries five-fold
>>
download the legentibus app and do all the free material. You'll know after that if you want to keep going
>>

Theyre not really copies theyre different interpretations of greek religious stories, and most of that is original too, and it has 1000x the amount of stuff published, most of the oldest surviving copies of greek and roman myths are only 500-600 years old, thats also when everyone was writing in latin too btw
>>
>>25205579
Greek has more material to read. And it's better.
>>
>>25205400
Homer excepted, Latin has the best corpus of poetry
>>
>>25205440
Theres more practical use than most other languages unless youre regularly taking business trips to china
>>
>>25205586
Spanish
>>
>>25205590
Whats spanish? You mean it sounds like spanish? Or you want to learn spanish for work?
>>
>>25205599
It's the only language worth learning except english
>>
>>25205617
Alright then, whatever
>>
>>25205617
What do you think about?
>>
>>25205617
>There is no value in learning a language that you won't speak

Retard
>>
>>25205629
Pretending to be smart isn't a good reason
>>
>>25205586
Yeah really, how often do you speak to people who cant speak english compared to how often you read for leisure or to improve your brain
>>
>>25205634
Do you think youre smart for learning spanish?
>>
>>25205634
Okay you killed him
>>
>>25205617
Okay henry winkler
>>
I think you should learn a living language first like French
>>
>>25205689
I already speak my native language and English which sadly is still a living language.
