I'm thinking of learning French as it seems quite readable already, as a lot of words are either the same as, or similar to English words.

Dreading having to know which words are masculine/feminine, and irregular verb conjugation.

I guarantee that at least one of the regular slavic posters on the board, they may not be in this thread, is responsible for nine tenths of the shitposting going on here, those garbage threads about camwhores, the piece of shit poetry threads entirely composed of genitalia jokes, they are the one or two guys who always get in at the start of a thread to post severely unfunny ironic shitposts, and I guarantee it is because they have read and are adherents to the wastrel philosophies of Max Stirner, that most clumsiest of negationists, and Emil Cioran, supremely edgy cunt, with perhaps a little naive hedonism to round it off. This more properly applies to the more educated slavic shitposter, the less educated slavic shitposters are probably responsible for the above threads as well with the addition that they make all those detestable threads about amateur slavic science fiction.

If it is not the slavic people who are responsible for the uproarious shitposting on this board it is probably scandinavian posters, who are also drawn to ignoramus philosophers, they are possibly more responsible for the suicide threads. I also suspect these people are equally responsible for the barely comprehensible shitposts, due to a poor grasp of the english language but also a general unhingedness characteristic of the nordic types and a lack of 1:1 understanding of internet culture.

Besides that maybe German posters are at fault, but I suspect not because their attempts at humour are really too boorish for anything that's been posted here. Maybe the odd thread or two that is ridiculously unfunny and blockheaded.

The British people who post here are too effeminate to be behind this, the Americans are probably responsible in most part for political shitposting, which is not really as terrible as the plague of shitposting that slavic and scandinavian people, perhaps in conjunction, have fostered here.

As for the Latinos, they are a far too kind and gentle-hearted people for this unconscionable mischief.

Homeric Greek. Anyone else on /lit/ learning it? I'm using Clyde Pharr's book on it. It's very enjoyable so far, and not as tough as I thought it would be.

you're doing it in reverse order of how it's normally done these days (homeric after attic) but there's no harm in that. I'd say to look into Benner's Selections from the Iliad once you get to full tilt reading. It's a popular alternative to Pharr - mainly because it was updated more recently - that has a brief homeric grammmar as well as extensive notes on vocab, irregular forms, and odd constructions. Also the Owen and Godspeed Homeric Vocabularies book of most common words and meanings is a godsend when starting out. There's no real equivalent for the Odyssey but Stanford's edition is a classic starter. I think it's old enough to be up on Perseus.tufts.edu (which you should look at if you don't know it) in public domain commentaries. The good commentaries for Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns are all pretty expensive but you can get cheap versions in the Bryn Mawr Classical Texts series that are skimpy on notes - especially with grammatical issues - but better than starting out cold.

i used to teach greek so i know the pain of starting out.

It´s hard to define it. It feels basic, like an artificial simplification of the spoken word.

It´s like a middle point between abstract though and internal dialogue, carrying the benefits of both - the freedom of the abstract though for how schematic it is, and the structure and consistence of inner speech, which allows me to think deeper into something. But, as it is so schematic, it takes less mental effort than Spanish and doesn´t take so much of my focus, so I can multitask more easily.

Also, it feels completely detached. Spanish is my language - the words have deeply ingrained meanings and connotations, and often bring memories. Talking, or even thinking in my language, is personal, because when I do so I also bring back a lot of my past experiences. English, on the other hand, feels like an tool. It barely brings back any memories, it barely has any deeper meanings linked to the words, aside from those given by memorization and use in conversation with mostly unknown people. It is, therefore, less distracting, more "to the point".

Finally, English has an exotic touch. We Spaniards are so awful with the pronunciation because we can´t even hear the difference between many sounds, and when we finally manage to understand the difference between "cheese" and "pit", it feels great. English sounds very alien to us, and therefore it´s easy to "link" it to a story. As it doesn´t bring the memories that Spanish brings, it is easier to detach from reality and immerse in the reading.

Or that´s for me, at least.

My first and only real language is English. If asked to conjure up a sentence in a foreign language on the spot I would most likely barf up a mishmash of the Japanese I half-learned freshman year of college and the Spanish I 1/5-learned in high school and grade school. Whenever I go on vacation in non-English speaking countries I just learn "Hello," "Do you speak English," and "Sorry, I don't speak _____" and most people with whom I interact treat me like a sweet-hearted princess with a bone marrow disorder.

>What is your favourite language (for speaking/reading/listening)?
I find French very fun to speak with all those exaggerated sounds and guttural R's. Reading in Arabic is lovely, the lack of written vowels can be annoying when you encounter a word you don't know, but the script is beautiful and the consonant roots practical. As for listening, Japanese is very calm and articulate. And cute.

Spanish and English (or at least, I pretend that I can)

What languages are you currently learning?
Norwegian and Russian, the first because I simply love it, just pure Germanic grandeur. The second because I've always wanted to learn a non European language (Slavic ones do not count), and Russia has a mighty history, with a great wealth of literature in it's back

What is your favourite language (for speaking/reading/listening)?

When it comes to speaking, English
When it comes to reading, Spanish (While I think English has a wider range of vocabulary and it's best for plain old prose, Spanish, when written right, is just beautiful)

Seconded. In my opinion, if you have both time and will, you can start reading literature in your target language (at least when it comes to Germanic/Romance languages) with relative ease in abouth 6-10 months

It's so bad I'm not sure it wasn't intended. There's no way someone could do that little research for a movie about going to Cataluna, but one of the characters does her MA in the culture of the region. The fierce Catalan poet doesn't sound Catalan. I'm not sure if I was trolled or Woody just stopped giving a shit.

because if you only know how to say hasta luego in spanish doesnt make you fluent in spanish and you dont have to add it to that list

here's how it goes ! (by levels) and on a scale from 1 to 10

language speaking reading listening writing
french 4 8 8 5
english 5 10 5 7
german 1 5 5 2

speaking - Russian or German

listening - really, fucking anything but Korean. I love my extended family, but christ almighty when they speak in Korean (90% of the time) I can't deal with it. One of the worst sounding languages
