The French shilled it hard when it came out, showering it with praise and raising it to international recognition. You probably don't like it because you haven't studied French literature in depth and you can't see what he was doing exactly.

I don't exactly retain them concomitantly. Fluency exists on a continuum; at any moment some languages are better than others. Right now I've been reading mostly in Spanish and so my Spanish is really great. I haven't read in French in a few months, so my French is dwindling. The good news is that if I were to pick up a French novel right now, it would only take me a few hours to get back into it. At most a week to recover where I left off. So while you sort of lose bits and pieces of the language, there is an integral whole that you can't really forget, it's rooted deep in your brain. As for how long it took me, the longest was French since it was my first foreign language (roughly 2-3 years before I was able to converse, but I was a teenager and admittedly lazy and stupid; if I were to repeat that I could get to that same level in 3-4 months). Nowadays I can pick up any Western European language in a few months.

I should say, I think people have elective affinities with regards to languages. For some reason I never lose any Spanish, it's just always there. French is more elusive. Italian/Portuguese are somewhere in between. Some languages I realized a long time ago just were incompatible with my soul, to use a vague expression, and so I forgot them quite rapidly and just quit learning them. This is something that fascinates me. For some reason, some people struggle with some languages, but learn others easily, and this is independent of the difficulty of those languages. I know people who learned Russian, but can't learn Spanish. I don't know what this is the case, but I suggest finding a language congenial to your spirit and mastering that one. After that your language learning journey will be greatly facilitated.

This is ugly and part of poetry is the actual way the poem is shaped. You're just ruining the art. This is something a retarded anti-aesthete would do. You don't deserve to read poetry, go back to prose, plotfag.

Well, you could try not being so boring, Clifford. Also, why did you adopt that fake name? It's so obviously fake that I can't help but laugh when I hear you say it.

That's when you give up reading /pol/ meme literature and go to /lit/core. I recommend reading the main works from your native country. You should be familiar with your country's literature and give up on spergs like Evola and Guénon. Where are you from, OP? It's time for you to renounce politics and dive into actual literature. I recommend throwing away Guénon, Evola, and any other meme authors (like Ted K, Codreanu, Mosley) from your shelf, it's just embarrassing to own them. If you're American, go buy Stoner, Gravity's Rainbow, The Recognitions, Infinite Jest. Keep reading American works, then move on to the English, Irish, etc. Whatever, just read actual literature, and not /pol/tard cringe.
