For the sake of literature, which one should I learn? Since I'm told of how many dialects German has my question is, can native speakers understand any classic book written in German without any problem?
>>
It's not hard to read because of the language, it's hard to read because of the font. I can still read most of it though.
>>
>>74366410
Then, I take it, pretty much all books are written in standard German, even those 300 years ago?

>>74366467
yes, although that "standard German" of course evolved over time
300 years shouldn't be too much of a problem (I can read your pic though it's phrased in a way that might be difficult even to a native speaker).
>>
learn French, don't waste your time with dead languages and if you do learn Latin, since it makes sense at least.

There's nothing really worth reading anyways in German. All the meme authors are unbearable garbage.
>>
>>74366385
I think both of these languages are useless. Better polish off your English, you know. Buy yourself some lessons on italki and stuff. It'll all pay off in the future.

Philosophy maybe?
It's why I plan to learn German

How can French be useless given there are so many great books I could get access to if I manage to master it?
>>
>>74366905
>All the meme authors are unbearable garbage.

Also hillariously outdated and shallow. They're not even taught in German schools and university anymore. They're all reading american/british prosa nowadays. French writers are equally shitty but at least they don't remind you with every written sentence how they hate themselves and others.
>>
>>74366385
It really depends. Both are major languages in Europe, but learning to read complicated books will take you years. You should take one you'll be comfortable sticking to over the years.
>>74366966
>they don't remind you with every written sentence how they hate themselves and others.
HA, you speak from ignorance clearly.

I doubt you know what you're talking about. Also, what about stefan zweig, thomas mann etc., are they shit too?

I don't seem to follow, bruv.

>>74366905
Do bear in mind that many authors favored precision over readability, so you'll need advanced knowledge to get more out of the original. Nice aspiration, though.

"no"

butthurt. German literature is as dead as Germany.
De bello gallico has probably the last few passages about Germany worth reading.

Depressing swamp full of butthurt barbarians.

You've said:
- All the writers are shit (nice opinion; how about some of your favorites)
- They're not taught in German schools anymore (plain wrong disinformation)
fuck off, retard

>- They're not taught in German schools anymore (plain wrong disinformation)
they're not unless you choose advanced courses in German in high school. If you did you're probably posting this from the jobcenter right now, which further proves my point.

Why would you want to learn G*rman? it is an uncivilized snownigger language and nothing of value can be written in it.

it is biased garbage, G*rman is a primitive language unfit for deep thought.

We have an enormous ammount of great authors like Merimée, Balzac, Gautier, Flaubert, Stendhal, Beaudelaire, Rabelais, Ronsard, and so on

Meanwhile Germans literature is limited to a few great authors(mainly philosophers) like Nieztche Kant, Heigel, Heidegger, and Faust
>>
>>74371999
>Faust
I mean Goethe
>>
But if Hitler spoke German it can't be a bad language.
>>

Why would you learn french honestly? Litterature is gay just like the language

French of course. Germany doesn't have much literature to spend several years for it's sake and got btfo even in the field of philosophy after Hegel's death
Yet, if you want to be a real badass and read something interesting and valuable, learn Latin and forget about both French and German. Latin literature's quality is on a completely different level
