How do you even read the parts in German, Latin, Italian, etc?

with your eyes

Ever heard of notes?

That's actually a question scholars haven't been able to answer for the past hundred years.

We actually don't know how to read the parts in German, Latin, Italian, etc. Even people who know those languages don't know how to read them.

If you go into Joyce's work without notes you're not going to get very far. It has nothing to do with being a brainlet. There are just an insane amount of obscure cultural and historical references, not even considering literary, that you simply wouldn't know.

Majority of Latin you should recognise from your Catholic upbringing, you should really know German and Italian my dude or else you miss pretty much all of Circe and the structure.

Gifford's Ulysses Annotated has all those translations, you can probably find them all online if you can get that book on google books

This. Open the book side by side with Ulysses and you're in for a wild ride.
