Hello frens, Im learning german from a book written in 1916. So far the instruction is really good and Id like to stick with it over modern books because of its detail and overall respect for the reader’s intelligence that I can’t find in newer texts. How strange will my speech, writing and grammar be?

Wilhelm Meister's apprenticeship. So far it's been like Werther but the opposite.

Thanks guys, I’m enjoying it so far and the coherence of the instruction of the instruction is really showing in comparison to a book I have for learning german from the 80s and even more recent texts. I initially wanted to learn to write in old german script, but I decided it’s a bit too difficult to do with my current handwriting ability and how complex Kurrent is to write. That being said I may try to have another go at it, does anyone have any guides for it? It helps a bit to distinguish my handwriting in foreign languages from my English handwriting, such as Gaelic script cursive writing for Irish.

Once you get some vocabulary under your belt you will be able to dissect words like this pretty easily. Often, they will slip an "n" or an "s" between the root words to smooth the combined word.

Es könnte mit dem 30-jährigen Krieg zu tun haben. Oder aber auch, und das ist wahrscheinlicher, die Tatsache dass der Hauptteil deutscher Geschichte eine Kollektion von Mini-Staaten und Stadtstaaten ist. Eine Art Rivalität wie die Italiener zuvor.

Außerdem ist Deutsch die vielleicht legalistischste Sprache der Welt, weswegen "Rationalismus" vorprogrammiert ist.
