Can anyone who's studied/learned ancient Greek, either in a structured setting or independently, vouch for this text's quality? It's either this or I start Wheelock's.

正确的句子应该是“他不会用另一种语言”。
不知道means he doesnt know if another language exists.
会用 is "can use"

Currently learning Nip and searching for stuff to read in Spanish to bolster my vocab.

IIRC that book does not have an answer key available. If you are studying independently that might (should?) be a concern for you. Consider Introduction to Attic Greek by Mastronarde, which has an answer key published in a separate volume.

>wasted 5 years of my life getting to a competent level of japanese
>now that I can understand anime and read manga perfectly I grew out of japanese stuff a year ago
>language is now useless

>>9977012
Avoid intensive course readers. They all adhere to very old methods of teaching (linguistics rather than language acquisition) that don't mesh with any research on SLA. Get Polis or Athenaze or any grammar with a ton of reading at scaled difficulty

>>9977018

>>9976992

¿Qué es tu nível? yo por mí parte después de colegio leí un poco de Unamuno, Borges etc, aunque el lenguaje puede ser un poco arcaíco a veces. Leo una traducción de Lolita ahora y me ha rasgado un nuevo ojete

Duolingos Russian is pretty ok and Dvach(Russian 4chan) has an /int/ board where you can talk to the Russian versions of yourself.
Good luck.

English is the language of business and everything that is important will get translated for me. There's no need to learn another language.

I'm interested in Japanese but is there even any decent literature? I know about Osamu Dazai and a few others, but it seems to me like Russian is the ultimate /lit/ language.

good
its funny when american are stupid

I'd consider learning Japanese just to read Mishima if I weren't a weeb already. That said, Russian is also great.

Very fine joke, friend! I'll be over here enjoying the bounty of all the world's literature while you slave away trying to decipher the ten relevant books your country has made in its history.

If everyone would stop pretending to speak Chinese... Westerners embarrass themselves in this language constantly while patting themselves on the back at their own accomplishments. Wait... never mind, pretending to speak Chinese is the perfect hobby for /lit/

Any YouTube stuff that could be useful for a German learner?

What should I do to improve my Spanish?? I just started and there aren't many Spanish speakers near me.

I want to learn japanese. I as of yet dont speak any of it, not even basics. Where is a good point to start? Which websites are especially helpful? Is the juice even worth the squeeze?

>>9979630
Go to /jp/ or /int/, find the daily japanese thread (djt), read and follow the guide.

>>9979636
Will do, thanks my man.

Are you me? At least learning Japanese got me into Heian and Edo period literature and folklore

种 is an appropriate classifier for 语言, as is 门
if you were pointing to "一种" as a whole, you’re looking at it the wrong way. 一 is a part of 另一 which means "another".

English native but parents are Spanish so I grew up listening to it all the time. I can't speak it as quickly as I should be able to and don't write for shit. Picking up Japanese made me feel a bit bad about not knowing Spanish as well as I should so I planned to start reading. Thanks for the recs.
