Best language is definitely italian tho.

swiss german. there are no official grammar rules so you can't learn it without actually being in switzerland. and even then, nobody truly masters it unless they were born here

French is more diverse. You can read poetry (Villon, Verlaine, Malarme, Rimbaud...), theater (Moliere, Racine, Corneille), philosophy (Descartes, Pascal, Voltaire), essays (Montaigne, obviously), and fiction (Flaubert, Balzac, Stendhal, Maupassant, Proust).

Russian has greater books. Dostoevsy, Tolstoy and Tchekov are superior to the French novelists.

Italian and Spanish have the two greatest books.

Greek has Homer, Plato, and Aristotle.

Latin is probably the best one of eloquence. I myself don't know it, but those who do claim it helps you to structure your toughts much better, so it might be the superior option for those who want to write.

In your case, I'd suggest French, because it's closer to the English language, and because it opens the doors to the romance world.

I definitely isn't. It sounds terrible. Just compare Mozart's Italian operas with Zauberflote and see it, or rather hear it, for yourself. No wonder the great composer prefered to write in Italian even though it wasn't his first language!

English the most dynamic, varied and complex languages ever to exist. You say anything in a myriad of different ways.

Every other language is simply a waste of time and quite frankly warrants extermination.

Doubtful. Ask a linguist.

>You say anything in a myriad of different ways. You can do that in literally any language.

lmao

French is a must. German is a must if you're really into philosophy. Russian/Spanish/Italian are all roughly on par, but Russian is considerably harder than the others. Dead languages are fine if you're a scholar or severely autistic.

>this /b/-tier bait

girlfriend can read and speak Russian, German, Czech, Slovak, Polish and English but doesn't actually use it to read based works apart from perhaps Goethe.

I know English. That's all. God I'm a fucking pleb

Literally two varieties of the same language. You should feel 1 less bad, fampai.
