Learning anything other than English is only situationally useful. Learning a second European language is inherently even less useful for an English speaker, given that anyone who isn't a complete brainlet here speaks English and almost everything is written in English, with everything else being translated. You go to France and they make a token effort but only the retards sniffing farts and cheese in the countryside don't speak English and honestly I've no interest in conversing with them anyway.

>b-b-but the books were written in -
They were subsequently translated you brainlet, English has the broadest lexicon in history and never hesitates to steal words from other languages, unlike French for example - sure you can create your own hyper-specific word in German to describe the feeling you have when Kara Boga fucks your wife or w/e but it's still 100% translatable, even the word needs to be "borrowed", e.g. schadenfreude.

Unless you're learning Latin to work on your own translation or planning to move to Czech Republic or w.e it is simply a waste of time, have you even fucking been here?

You mean paragraphs? For fucks sake anon we're on /lit/, granted his use of paragraphs was somewhat liberal but you should hold yourself to a higher standard than this.

Absolute brainlet. Just in the process of "getting rich" you've made yourself a slave, at best you can inherit the fruits of someone else's slave labour.

You're so close to the answer but you're too retarded to see it. My condolences.
