Some facts:
- Learning a foreign language /just/ to read books is silly and a waste of time. Yes, there is a great distance between an original and a translation. No, this doesn't mean waste years of your life studying to read. Preferably, you'd read only books written in your native tongue anyways and only exceptional translations when necessary.
- Language learning is pushed for political reasons. Period. Google "reasons to learn a foreign language" and see how many of the reasons listed are purely political and mostly have to do with adapting to (((their))) plan of globalization, multi-culturalism, etc. and consequently, the cultural death of all.
- People should speak and write in the language of their ancestors. Anything else is simply Stockholm syndrome. Likewise, a anglo-American man learning Spanish is fetid to the senses of his ancestors. And an Irishman who speaks only English makes a mockery of Cú Chulainn et al. Chicanos that bemoan speaking more English than Spanish are fools, for neither are their true tongue- must they really bemoan learning one conquerors' language over another?
- There are serious reasons to want to learn a language: 1.) if one is a philologist or works in a similar field AND has discernible linguistic talent (only one is not sufficient) and 2.) if one is learning the language of his ancestors (many Americans must do this; for the mutts, I don't know what to tell you).
- If one is of non-Anglo ancestry and has spent his entire life speaking only English, one must understand that the fact he speaks only English is purely circumstantial, but not ideal. He must speak the tongue of his ancestors.
- In most cases, learning the tongue of another ethnicity, tribe, nation, country, etc. is one of the most severe forms of cuckoldry and should be avoided except for some incredibly special reason.

Do not lose your ancestral tongue, it's the only one that can speak to your soul. And always remember that right now most language learning is done by third-worlders and is only done for immigration purposes. Do not help them in their goals. Society should shun these people who plan on leeching off our European societies. Also, many first-worlders who learn foreign languages are already cucked and plan on race-mixing soon (white male-latina is the most common pairing in the US).

Irish because i'm Irish, Japanese cause i'm a weeb and Spanish cause it's pretty easy and I can take free classes every week with work. Although i'd say Spanish is the only one I am currently "learning"
I actually agree with you about speaking the language of your ancestors, but i don't get what's wrong with learning extra languages, even if there's no real reason to do so.

Language to learn for African Americans? Do they just take a dart and throw it at the gold coast and pick from there?

>> No.11499265

>>11499246
That would be more sincere than speaking English. In fact, Africans still cannot seriously speak English. It's layered with irony because they simply cannot sustain serious dialogue in the conqueror's tongue.

Yeah, mutts are always in a rough situation culturally. I'd say pick the one that most fits your phenotype. Maybe that's none of them. I think mutts don't do themselves any disservice by being bi or multi-lingual. My main point is that people should be linguistically connected to their ancestors. Whatever that means to you, follow it. Maybe you can't make all your ancestors proud, but you could do your best.

I also read another source that says it came from Italian (OED).

I think at this point you're just trolling or otherwise finding really bad sources instead of admitting you spoke to me in Latin while claiming English is the best language. lol

Might be silly, but some people just really love to read and spending a whole lot of time essentially worshiping the work of your favourite authors should not be considered a waste of time by students of the humanities, otherwise what the fuck are we all here for?

Truth?

Imagine living in a society that has had at least 8 decades of total Jewish dominance in mass media, business, film, art, literature, government, culture, etc with no opposition., where 'they' have embedded themselves so deep within your psyche that you don't even know they are there, structuring your thoughts for you... And imagine that your icons, your culture, your favourite television shows, movies, music, everything you were brought up on and know and love, is a Jewish creation (a trick) and/or was pushed by 'them', likely so as to weaken you in some way...

Okay.. Then imagine they have invented an unknown amount of terms, they have literally changed language, and made up new words, changed their meanings, all to usher in radical change that they fund and then propagate through their global inter-connected network of news, tv, movies, and so on. Imagine they have quite literally bombarded you, your parents, and your grandparents minds from birth, and you're so accustomed to it that you don't even recognise its happening.

Still with me? Imagine 'they' own you, your family, and everyone you know and love. Their total assets are in the trillions but they have a literally unlimited supply of fiat currency to prop up anything they see fit, in reality. Imagine every aspect of modernity is entirely dominated by Jewish influence.
