I'm learning French and I find it very rewarding. I'd like to start learning Spanish next for both practical purposes and for purposes of literary interest but I don't know what I plan to learn from there. I'd like to learn to read Italian well enough to read the Divine Comedy. Dead languages like Latin, Old English, and Homeric Greek interest me but I question sometimes if it'll be worth all the time and effort. I do love Metamorphoses and the Aeneid, Beowulf, the Iliad and the Odyssey, but I'm not sure if learning such difficult languages just for those works is worth it. Maybe OE because it's easier for a native English speaker than the other two. Barring those three I'd either pick something like Russian or German or something even more alien to me like some East Asian language or Persian or something.

Japanese surely must have plenty of notable classical texts. Though the significant differences requiring translations to modern JP text must detract from the poetic qualities and subtlety of text, too.

French and Italians are much cleaner, precise thinkers than Germans whose greatest philosophers are often just failed poets and whose poets fall into the worst extravagances. It is no accident that romanticism and idealism, the antithesis to everything classical, rational, and disciplined in culture, come from German sources. Add to that the fact that German grammar is woefully clunky and pedantic, often without the terseness and density of meaning you see in other languages with case systems such as latin. That being said, German journalism and legal writings are much clearer than anything we have access to in the US. Still, I wish I learned French.

I'm one of the few right wing Spaniards that actually deeply appreciates the wonderful linguistic and cultural heritage of the different parts of our country, but if you are honest with yourself you will accept that there is literally 0 reasons why someone should try and learn Catalan over Spanish or French (or Portuguese or Italian for that matter).
The main advantage for a language and literature nerd is it's proximity to Provençal, but you need to be alredy deep into Romance languages and Catalan is not the best place to start. It's either that or planning to live in Catalonia, Andorra or that city in Saridinia, which is not very likely.

Don't be a retard, every single language can claim that and it can even be true to an extent, but rich and untranslatable is not the same as worth the investment of hundreds of hours learning when you could pick a translation or learn an easier language.
If you are native in an European language 99.9 times out of a hundred you should stick to IE languages.

People treat foreign language like there's some kind of magic or artistry to it. The reality is that all the basics are incredibly simple, it's just a question of finding a study method that allows you to memorize those simple bits of information. Flash cards are very efficient for this.
There is some art to mastering a language, but focus on things like nuance and prose after you've already attained basic literacy. Basic literacy requires memorizing 5-10k words.

Unsurebabout the "richness" but in general a good translation is shit, and a shit translation is basically a fan fiction. I mostly just read normal novels (think game of thrones level "literature") but even with simpler works there are many things that don't translate.

>brain plasticity is real
Yes and no. While it is true that there is such a thing as brain plasticity, and that it is more present when you are younger, it does not mean that your brain is irreversibly rigid when you are older. It depends more on your environment, and your disposition towards learning, rather than how your brain is shaped or something. I'd suggest you take a closer look at your study plan, your motivation, and how you can improve it. Marx, for example, learned russian in 6 months in his 50s. If he could do it in the 19th century, you can easily do it now with all the resources you have at hand.

Not him, but I've been going through Grammaire progressive du francais and it is a really good French grammar book. Keep in mind that it is however entirely in French, so definitely do something like the nature method and/or anki flashcards first to build up your vocabulary and understanding before using this book to solidify the grammar concepts.

you may never have the native-level accent of someone who learned it before they were 10 years old, but that doesn't mean you can't learn it. Hang in there! It's definitely possible. It's about deligence and exposing/immersing yourself in the language as much as humanly possible, while also studying it via traditional methods.
