None, not even my native language. Which isn't English. I can't seem to understand what the fuck people mean when they talk things. I'm a somewhat decent reader in Portuguese, English, French, some Spanish, a bit of Japanese.

I was learning Norwegian for like a week but then I had a realization that it was kinda useless so I switched to German, I just made the switch tonight. Hope to be fluent in like 3 years idk. I want to read Jung's big red color book the way it was intended, that's not the only reason though, so many benefits to being bilingual.

Only Portuguese and English.
I can read some texts in Castilian from my experience playing videogames in that language as a child, but I suck in both speaking and writing.
Trying to learn German as I am in interested in both the language and the culture that revolves around the language. Tried to learn Japanese in the past, but then I realized that I am not that into Japan's culture even though I would really enjoy reading my set of raw classic manga in the most pure experience.
As I get better on learning German, maybe I will start to learn Classical Greek for the classics or French, or even Russian. Who knows.

ok try this
also, I'm dumb, it's 400mb not 4 giga

Install the program
then, while running the iso in daemon tools, run the program you installed (OmniaPBib). You might have to run as "compatible with Win95" or 98

I would like to learn a new language but I cannot decide which one. German is very interesting to me but European languages outside of English seem to be on their way out at this point. Chinese is very complex and I wouldn't really have reason to use it. Japanese is cool, I might end up learning that one, if only for manga/anime.

I mean, practically every German/Swede/Dutch/etc person can speak English, and the kids all learn it from vey early on. It seems fair to assume that eventually English will replace these languages. I've heard you can comfortably live as an expat in Berlin or Munich without knowing any German at all.

Spanish and English. Learning Nip. I also want to learn Russian and Italian.

[Anonymous No.18607205]

Say the levels you are in, typing a list of languages doesn't really mean anything.
Spanish native, English C1-C2, French B2 and Italian between A1 and A2.
I want to keep studying French to be able to read good poetry but honestly I got too bored a few months back and switched to Italian instead.

CEFR levels don't seem fit for those of us who only learn in order to read and maybe watch movies.

They test all-around fluency and their descriptions are designed around the most common goals of people learning languages; they include stuff like "can describe his dreams and plans" or "can take part in a basic conversation on matters related to his work".

I can live comfortably in Korea just knowing english too. You wont make many friends or really assimilate into the culture and society without knowing the language. Just because people are bilingual doesnt mean that they stop using their first language.
Also keep in mind there used to be a time when aristocrats would speak almost exclusively in french in some countries and yet their still languages didnt die. And this is not the case today at all.

Happy to hear that
For some works there should be also a short audio reading it (of course, not the whole thing - but like the first few lines of Divine Comedy should be there. Guess that can help you too if you're trying to learn the language)

I think my brain capped at 3, though. I can't fathom realistically learning another language for the time being. Maybe in a decade after I use all three often enough for the switch to be less like the one Nabokov mentioned, and more of a second nature.

English native, know a decent amount of Spanish and had been dedicated lots of time to learning it, but now learning Latin because a great opportunity came along to learn it from a credentialed classicist. Only started recently, and memorizing the declensions is a bit tedious, but I'm enjoying it so far.

True, but if you want to get to very high levels of reading comprehension you will most likely need to practice other skills anyways.
Even if you have a very thick accent, if you can read complex texts fluently that means you know vocabulary and grammar that you can use to speak.
Plus it would be very unwise to focus exclusevely on reading even if your goal is the lit, cause only diversifying the studying a bit you can open up a lot of doors with the language (films, music, travel, work, etc)
