What's the best hobby and why is it language learning?
>>544060462>What's the best hobbySpeaking (American) English and no other languages. It's even better if you actively despise these unholy tongues.
Abstaining from stalking people is a good start, whatever you choose to do.
>>544060462>What's the best hobbythats subjective

>>544060462i know people who "speak 6 languages" but english is not their first and they can't speak fluently in English at all. So, wow, congrats you can interact at the tourism desk, hotel lobby, cafe and restaurant when your vacationing in foreign country.. great.

>>544062365Swede anon, I once had two websites bookmarked. They contained lists of critical vocabulary for Ancient Greek and Latin texts, respectfully. Unfortunately, the websites were taken down. Perhaps you know where I can find such a list again...?
>>544062238>French, Latin and Ancient Greekuseless

>>544064048Utilitarian mindset. You shouldn't be like an anglophone who only cares about what's useful. Especially now that we have google translate, AI etc you should learn in order to cultivate the intellect, not for utility.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAp8hX0U-jw
>>544064448the world should have fewer insufferable pseuds like you. "cultivated intellect" lmao you're fucking retarded dude.
>>544064448why bother learning inferior loser languages when I already speak the best already?
>>544064844Latin and Greek are superior, that's why they're called classical languages.
>>544065186>Latin and Greek are superiornope
>>544065221Yeah Mehmet stfu. They're called classical languages for the same reason as classical music, classical literature etc, because they're of higher value. One testament to the greatness of them is that they were written without punctuation, letter case, spaces etc, because they didn't need it.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scriptio_continua
>>544065491>Yeah Mehmet stfu. untermenschen cope>They're called classical languagesthey are dead languages, nobody speaks them or uses them for anything important.if it had anything important you would translate it into english or german anyway. nowadays nobody needs to learn this useless shit.>because they didn't need it.no because they were retarded.
>>544065606kill yourself
>>544065662sorry bro nobody wants to learn shitskin languages
>>544064448You'll be dead before you can use those languages, brainlet.
>>544065606>they are dead languages, nobody speaks them or uses them for anything important.Latin and greek are frequently used in law, science, and medicine. The fact that they are dead languages is a benefit, because the vocabulary and terminology and definitions do not drift or change over time. 100 years from now "habeas corpus" will still mean the same thing as it did 100 years ago.
>>544066609>Latin and greek are frequently used in law, science, and medicine.just use the german or even english word for it, which is superior anyway.you are just doing extra steps for no reason.>because the vocabulary and terminology and definitions do not drift or change over timewe already invented the dictionary you dumbass
>>544060462Arabic is one of the major languages of the world alongside English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. Arabic is spoken by the whole of the Arab world which has a population of 450+ million in 22+ countries. It's beneficial to learn it.
>>544066609Dead language means there are no native speakers. Much of the Latin in scientific nomenclature is Neo-Latin, which contains words made up after it was no longer a native language to anyone.
>>544060510(British) English is superior in spelling and grammar and it has more prestige. Mutt English only got popular because jewlywood.
>>544060462kek nonsense. You only train memory with this. In chess you train both memory and logical thinking. By practicing some arts you grow as a human being; play some sports to keep your body fit and to socialize. You can have some contact with nature too.Learning languages is maybe the second worst hobby, just after collecting stuff.
>>544064345Much appreciated!
