As someone who has learned French I can't imagine a more retarded waste of time than learning a new language if you already speak English.

>Buh buh.. the translations might not be accurate!

So go pick up a dictionary and look up the few words the translator may have got incorrect you dipshit. 99.99% of the translation are going to be correct enough that you can't do any better by learning the language. Learning a language is hard, learning it enough to read literature is even harder.

Think about it. All's your doing is relearning the exact same shit you already know but with different sounds. It's the equivalent of learning to type again with a Dvorak keyboard.

Only learn a language if your social life depends on it. Imagine learning a language for 4 years just to forget it because you never used it outside of reading "Le Petit Prince"
