daily reminder to learn a new language

But I am, I went from not speaking a word of French a few months ago to now reading Camus' L'Etranger

Daily reminder to fuck off.

Hart Crane <3

I'm learning Esperanto. Opinions?

>>9274083

Stop.

>>9274083
WHY
>>9273418
Eh, I can read in four and can upgrade to five with a few months of work.

>>9273421
kill yourself

>>9273418
I speak English and French at first language level, should I learn Spanish, German or Italian? Or something else?

And Hart Crane is too gay for my liking.

>poisoning your mind with foreign thought processes
I don't think so

>>9274090
Don't know bruh. I got duolingo without really having a language in mind and there was Esperanto. I just kind of was drawn to it. No real reason except that.

if you're an avid reader french and english is enough bye

I'm learning Italian, my good friend.
I picked up a bunch of books by Italo Calvino and now I'm forcing my way through them using a dictionary when needed, occasionally stopping to translate pretty sentences to Portuguese (my first language). I am on a pretty smooth ride to be honest, Italian ain't that much different from Portuguese. I will study grammatical rules after picking up some vocabulary.
I want to learn Norwegian next, but I'm not very comfortable in dealing with non-Romance languages and I still need to work on my English.

Why french? English is the only essential.

>>9274120
German

>>9274173
because of translations

>>9274182
Yes but french authors aren't much more important than say... German ones.

>>9274198
yup but let's say you can't read german
probably something popular in germany's going to be translated into french
i think it's a localation thing idk but i bet there are tons of german books that haven't been translated into english but have editions in french

>>9274152
Your English is pretty solid, keep it up

>>9274152
>I want to learn Norwegian next
Hit me up when you do this. I want to learn it as well. It's like retarded German, I love it.

>>9273418
I thought about learning swedish. Is it worth it? Or should I just learn arabic?

>>9274289
If you already know German it's a hop, skip and a jump.

>>9274289
If you know Swedish you can learn Norwegian in a month. Same with Danish.

>>9273418
Besides English I'm a native Hebrew speaker and now I'm trying to learn German. I didn't make much progress since I started because I suck at self learning.

>>9273421
How specifically did you do that? I want to do the same

>>9273418
John Unterecker would make a great pen name.

>>9274120
ITA!

>>9274323
Dat hebrew literature though. So underrated and widely untranslated

Maybe my perception is warped, but it seems like Italian is neglected on this board.

>>9275076
What authors do you like?
I love Hebrew poetry, but never really got to novelists since I'm reading mostly English literature.

>>9273421
Solid, did the exact same thing last year.
