German, French and Chinese are the modern day aristocratic /lit/ language education

That's bourgeois language education

No current asian language is aristocratic at all, maybe some exception for the ancient form of the languages, but all modern asians and their countries are cucked hard by western civ (and the west isn't balls deep yet before its toxic liberalism is injected into the veins of asian cultures).

Any good sources for learning Latin or Greek? Also, how long does it take to be proficient enough to be able to read things like the Aeneid, Metamorphoses or Vulgate?

Go to libgen and search for either Wheelock or Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata (or buy the physical book). Either one will have you ready to tackle on poetry/prose once you finish them. Wheelock is more grammar intensive whereas Lingua Latina has an easier entry.
For Greek, I used Athenaze but I'm sure some other anons can give you other examples.
I used these 2 yt channels heavily as well

Lastly, you should be able to read poetry in maybe 6 months to a year depending on hard you apply yourself. Good luck, and remember start off easy, don't overwhelm yourself with trying Virgil or Ovid. The Vulgate is a much better starting text: http://www.latinvulgate.com/

Huh?

[Anonymous No.14959244]

Because /lit/ basement dwellers are clearly aristocrats as soon as they learn an all but dead language

That's what makes it aristocratic. The plebeians think its useless if it doesn't make money.
