>>532338767It's great. I'm considering setting up some IPFS storage to help support it.Also AI agents like Grok can rapidly search through entire catalogs of books, science journals etc. That used to take researchers years and they would write a thesis based on it.Now you can attain a DIY PhD level of knowledge on any subject in just a few days

The pdf I linked seems to have some kind of problem. When I make bookmarks, close the ebook reader app, then come back, the bookmarks are gone. So here's another pdf which is just the first book of the five books that are in the book in the OP, titled Sept-d'un-Coup, these were originally published as separate booklets.https://annas-archive.gl/md5/2709fe08d8075fa842eee6fa336ce872The good thing about the book in the OP is that it has a two-page list of the most common words in French, which it says make up about 50% of words in running discourse in French.https://annas-archive.gl/md5/2709fe08d8075fa842eee6fa336ce872This tiny thin little book is fun, great, effective, and you'll have learned 370 words at the end of it.

>>532338767Because the only knowledge that is power is the knowledge you make up and get other stupid people to believe for your benefit
>>532339152Yes, French is very easy to learn, and fun. What surprised me when I began learning it is how similar it is in structure to English and Swedish. The pronunciation or just the outward appearance of words makes you think it's a very different language, but it's not. You also think German is closer to English and Swedish than French is, but it's not, at least not grammatically. French pronunciation is also not hard at all to learn.

>>532339562I didn't mean to post the same link twice. Well, nobody here is going to download and read it anyway so whatever. Go back to fapping, subhumans.
The thing that's great is that I don't think this book would be that great without a teacher in the past, but now you have AI which makes many books accessible without having a teacher. For example the book has this sentence:>Dans la chanson, il est question d’un homme pauvre, d’un petit tailleur, pauvre comme lui.The book doesn't explain what "il est question" means, but with AI I learned that it's a French idiom which means "it's about". Maybe the author was expecting students to ask their teacher about that, but I can just ask AI instead.
Here's one example of where AI was helpful.>My graded reader says "homme pauvre" but "pauvre tailleur". Why is the adjective before the noun in one and after in the other?>Great observation—this is a classic nuance in French adjective placement.>In French, many adjectives can go either before or after the noun, but the position often changes the meaning or emphasis.>1. "un homme pauvre" (adjective after noun)>Here, pauvre keeps its literal meaning:>un homme pauvre = a man who is poor (has little money)>2. "un pauvre tailleur" (adjective before noun)>When pauvre comes before the noun, it usually becomes more subjective or emotional:>un pauvre tailleur = a poor / unfortunate / pitiful tailor>So here, it’s not about money—it expresses sympathy or pity.>Big idea>For adjectives like pauvre, placement can signal:>After the noun objective, literal description>Before the noun emotional, figurative, or evaluative meaning>A couple more examples (same pattern):>un homme grand = a tall man>un grand homme = a great man (important, famous)>une histoire simple = a simple (not complicated) story>une simple histoire = just a story (nothing more)>Rule of thumb>Adjectives that go before the noun often belong to a small group (sometimes remembered as BAGS: Beauty, Age, Goodness, Size), but some—like pauvre—change meaning depending on position.

>>532338767Learning written French is easy. Spoken French is another deal. It's an extremely mumbly and difficult to hear language at an everyday conversational level.
I haven't spoken to anyone in English in decades so why bother learning another language?
>>532339084>>532339141You managed to learn English. Then you can learn another language too. A lot of learning is not so much about intelligence as it is about attention, focus. Are you even trying?https://archive.org/details/childsillustrate00keet

So, what is the say the US national education system for? Well, one could go back to 1860 and say, "Oh, it's for turning the recently freed cattle slaves into wage slaves." like their northern counterparts. In other words, it serves the needs of the industrialists, the US education system, and probably the same could be said for almost any country. It serves the need of the e economy and even that's a little generous. It serves the needs of the investor class is what it does. It's not about a given child's relationship to the universe and to their mind.https://youtu.be/upFxaYnrs-A&t=550
>>532341887>>532341954I don't learn languages in order to talk to people. That's a very utilitarian and female thing to do.

1842: public schooling instituted in Swedenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Sweden#Primary_school1843: Trivium schools abolished in Finland. These schools were instituted when Finland was part of Sweden. When they were abolished Finland was part of Russia. But still you have to wonder why they were abolished only one year after Sweden instituted public schooling, and the same year that Horace Mann visited Prussia, where he saw the Prussian education system, which he brought to America, which then spread to the entire Western World..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivial_schoolhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_Mann#Education_reformhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZp7eVJNJuw
>>532343394What's your point? French and German dominated European intellectual life for a long time. Go back to fapping, you're too dumb to ever learn anything.
>>5323439learn greek and latin shitkorven på din mamas huvud. it's 2025 why would you waste your time with post classical masturbation?
>>532344890Classical languages are great and I study those too. Anglos hate learning modern languages because they are incurious and utilitarian and French and German are an insult to their fragile little egos somehow. The good news is that once you begin learning a language you begin to see that there is no such thing as your language or my language, because language is ideas and nobody owns ideas. I don't think you have studied language at all, classical or otherwise. It might be better to start with something like French or Italian because these languages are very easy. Learning Latin isn't hard either though and it's good in a way to start with Latin because it makes learning other languages easier. But for the effect I mentioned above ("once you begin learning a language you begin to see that there is no such thing as your language or my language, because language is ideas and nobody owns ideas") modern languages are probably more powerful than classical languages, and the flip-side of that is perhaps also why anglos often don't mind Latin but hate modern languages, Latin is a dead language so that whole egocentric power-centered utilitarian way of thinking about languages is not there in the same way, and even less so with Greek. It's hard to be insulted by something that's on the face of the moon. All languages are like musical notation, the music itself and like mathematical notation. Nobody thinks of musical notation as being an Italian thing for example, but rather as something universal. Nobody who listens to Mozart thinks of it as an Austrian thing, because it's not. Nobody writing a Euclidean proof thinks of it as a Greek thing because it's not. Likewise French and German aren't French and German.

>>532346608It seems like there are more good beginner books in English for French than for any other language, including German, for whatever reason. But I have found some good ones. There are a lot of good graded readers for German though.https://annas-archive.gl/md5/4402dfb824853ccf06d456a09cc8f009This book by Peter Hagboldt is very similar to the book in the OP. Peter Hagboldt and Otto Bond were colleagues at the University of Chicago in the 1930s and worked out this method together if I'm not mistaken, and worked together with the publisher D.C. Heath & Co. This was the beginning of the "graded reader" as a phenomenon it seems, although there were similar things before that. It begins with very simple text, the most common words and the most basic grammar. Then it gradually introduces more words (in order of frequency from more common to less common) and more complex grammar.some other bookshttps://archive.org/details/deutsch-nach-der-naturmethodehttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf8XN5kNFkhc0J7rC_vQMUBIVdaj---V5https://archive.org/details/progressivegerma00adlehttps://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.32044102864030https://annas-archive.gl/md5/d041c9cfe501cacecdac11cdc3af46b3https://archive.org/details/erstesdeutsches00wormgoog (I really only like Worman's books for Spanish but he wrote this for German too)https://archive.org/details/interlinear-german-reading-book-hahn-thimm-1901-marlboroughhttps://archive.org/details/Fsi-GermanBasicCourse-StudentTextThere are some decent modern books for German out there too, like for example:https://mercaba.org/SANLUIS/IDIOMAS/Alem%C3%A1n/Basic%20german.pdf
>>532346486If your region doesn't have much rainfall it can still harness reservoirs and rivers for year-round crop watering. Making the hydraulic infrastructure to do this is costly and requires the support of multiple settlements, forming a state who manages the infrastructure. The farmers are thus very reliant on the state to provide that water.In contrast if you can rely on water then you don't need a state as much.Europe relied on rainfall whilst egypt, iraq, china, india relied on centralised irrigation.The book (Unfinished History of the World) suggests this could a factor as to why europe did libertarianism first.
>>532348929*can rely on rainfallSo I guess that is hy it took longer for Europe to have kings (and why Germany was very decentralised even very late into history)
>>532345815>>532345815language is ideas... groundbreakingi'd learn spanish cause i live in a beantown and took a bit of it in high school. honestly, i'm just not interested in reading anything in the original german or french so desperately that i'd bother learning the language for it. however there are lots of latin and greek texts like the bible where understanding that language and grammar would actually serve a higher purpose. to me at least, like if your autistic skill is being a polygot then i can understand your metaphorical paintbrush. i'm sure every autist can unlock ultra-instinct polygot intuition if they got obsessed about language but for me and all my 180 iq homies, usually only focus on languages with essential/cannonical texts that deserve to be studied closely. och jag kan prata svenska, riktigt
>>532348929I like the history of technology so I might check it out. The history of the telegraph fascinates me, and I'm very interested in the history of education, schooling and teaching methods. Another book on history that seems interesting is Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley.https://youtu.be/IvGNLuJZqyM&t=126
>>532338767French is not extremely easy to learn. The whole language is just sex noises. I swear, French people must have to point and gesture a lot to make it clear what meaning of the word “uueeeggghhh” they are using.
I'm not learning Proto-Arabic but the link to the digital library looks neat.
>>532349150>i'd learn spanish cause i live in a beantownutilitarian and incuriousPleb opinion on French and German. Most of modern philosophy was written in German. Learning about German grammar does serve a higher purpose besides just reading German texts in the original, French too. It's worth it just for seeing how German goes heavy on nested clauses in long complex sentences, made possible with inflected relative pronouns, different word order for subordinate clauses, agreement between words overall etc, where the English translation breaks it down into multiple sentences. Or seeing how German doesn't need to begin every nonfiction book with a list of acronyms for the most frequently used terms, to be used in the text, and doesn't need to say "former" and "latter", nor spell out the antecedent of a pronoun every single time to avoid confusion. I don't care about "being a polyglot". Go back to outsourcing your brain to google translate, seems like your way.>language is ideas... groundbreakingTo most people, certainly most people on here, the realm of pure ideas is indeed a very alien one. It was not for nothing that Aristotle said that the hallmark of an educated mind is the ability to entertain a thought without accepting it. Most people are not educated at all, and that includes college graduates.
>>532338767Swede-bro, do you know of any good resources for the Spanish language?I'm particularly interested in fables and children's stories for simple sentences.

>>532338767Learning languages is pretty fun. I'm at an intermediate (N3) level in Japanese and would like to try a Euro language. Spanish is the most useful but I hated it in school. I tried French and German for about a month each but neither stuck. I'm considering trying out Latin for Virgil, Cicero, Caesar, and Ovid. And maybe some Renaissance stuff
>>532350537If you have a certain Southern US accent that can become a real question:>I don't mean that mousy kind of rat I mean "rat" now.
>>532350642>Spanish is the most useful but I hated it in school.I'm about to fall asleep, but if you want to info dump everything on Spanish I would appreciate it.In return I recommend The History of the Spanish Language by Ralph Penny. You learn how Latin turned into Spanish, influences of other languages, and you get a massive cavalcade of vocabulary words.

>>532350777My experience with Spanish in high school was absolutely miserable because all of the content they give us is about how rough life is for immigrants, which doesn't interest me. It also didn't help that my teacher was a total fucking bitch.In college, I still didn't care about Spanish, but I actually enjoyed the class, which motivated me to eventually learn Japanese on my own. What I liked about the class is that the profesora first spent time teaching the most frequent words to us and then gradually implemented more Spanish into the lessons as time went on. She also had us listen to Spanish vlogs. And she had us essentially sentence mine songs. Here are a few spanish songs that I enjoyed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7kUTkJ5LSE&list=PLQqbvRN360WOJUh402bqEZ9bTuCiW6jGu&index=14https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RREMRZ8MJMI&list=RDRREMRZ8MJMI&start_radio=1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT-VE9OyAJk&list=RDWT-VE9OyAJk&start_radio=1As for study content, I recommend the Dreaming Spanish channel. A lot of people on /int/ also recommend it. My college professor recommended watching Destinos, which you can find online for free on their site, since it was designed for learners. I only saw the first episode but it seems useful enough. You should be able to find the learning spanish nature method book on annas archive. I briefly tried out the French one and it was great, so I assume Spanish is also good.
