English is a poor language.

Sanskrit is the best.

you need to be a pretty good English speaker to handle the language
it's unfortunate but has literally infinite rewards
you might learn French or Italian for "local" rewards, but English and Germans are fully compatible
that's my opinion, as a nigga speaking 3 languages fluently and another 5 okay (to read a newspaper or watch a movie)

To be fair if you speak English or "Germans" (assuming it was not a typo and you mean German and Nederlands) one should learn at least a romance language (Spanish, French, Italian) because it literally expands your mind.
Americans not learning Spanish is Lovecraftian tier horror in my opinion.

Having tons of opportunities, from learning Spanish for free in school, to talking to cute underage latinas...

>>25401094
also free Spanish courses in literally every city with more than 10k souls

Chaps, you might be interested to know the tard making these is a jeet in swedistan. He posts them on /pol/ too. Good times.

>10k souls
how many cities do you think are left in the u.s. where even 10k of them have souls?
>>
>>25401036
I really need to learn Greek. And German. And Latin, probably. Might be worth it to learn a romance language as well. I'm already trying to learn Japanese. Fuck.

great to know, thanks for the information good sir.

Learn Latin then a romance language so you can see the similitudes (from french, "similitude", from latin, "similitudo" from "simile/is").Etymology is very fun
>>
>>25402675
If I were told I had to start learn all of those languages, today, one language at a time, I'd probably roughly follow the order I listed them in. Maybe start Latin before German, but I'm not nearly as interested in Latin as Greek or German.

José is a decent person

>Americans not learning Spanish
to talk to landscapers and illegal immigrants? Every latam worth a shit learns English if they don't want to be a chent. Hell the whole "no se" thing is a joke among latams for the American born latinos that "don't know" Spanish.

i love that german in fraktur is becoming the offizial Sprache of /lit/

>>25404305
To read some of the greatest writers? Crazy idea on a literature board, I know.
>>
>>25404305
stop being so poverty-coded anon
there's more to life than thinking
just don't interact with the spanish-speakers you don't think you would get along with, it's that simple
>>
>>25404322
i would have recommended that, but it's more or less a trap because they would start with Cervantes who was arguably the original butthurt globohomo
>>
>>25401059
Is it really? How does Latin measure up to it?
>>
>>25404426
not that anon but
1. it's actually an alphabet, so translations are good enough; it's not like Chinese or Japanese where you actually have to read/talk the language to get the multiple layers of meaning
2. Latin gives some breathtaking interpretations if you compare the Latin with your current language... they build upon each other and that's beautiful; there is nothing to build upon Sanskrit, we in the West data-mined it to death by the 1930s (see Mircea Eliade, probably the last Sanskrit scholar, who ironically abandoned it once he reached middle age)
at least that's how I see it, maybe I'm dumb, who knows

>DUDE WORDS HAVE GENDERS
Why? So a word can have a feminine or masculine flavor? We can express that already in English without the need for gendered words.

English is the best language and thus it has become the universal language, which shall be the universal language forever, constantly adapting over time and becoming better and better. Other languages are rusty Fiat's compared to the Ferrari of language, English.

One could say it is perhaps unwise to create a tower of Babel in this manner, but if civilization is to proceed that is the way it must proceed. Of course there can be different dialects of universal English, and some may not prefer to use it, but regardless it is and shall continue to be universally used, forever.

In fact linguists should set about the task of Anglicizing Latin, because Latin is probably the second most powerful language but has since been forgotten and can be revived and integrated by English.
