God I hate being British. The GCSE foreign language course at my Secondary School was so morbidly mundane so I left with a hatred for German and French; Now i'm older I wish i'd paid attention. Being a monolinguist is so embarrassing.

Did you teach yourself or did you get taught them in school?

Seriously, it just reeks of intellectual snobbery. Not to mention the fact you can narrow these categories down to one choice is deeply disconcerting.

iktfb. All mine seemed designed to do was teach people phrases to use if they were there on holiday. If they had done so much as suggest things like french movies or german music, it would have made a huge difference. Now I'm trying to teach myself and it's hard going.

You got me on account that I have bourgeois sentiments.
In regard to choosing merely one in each category, clearly there's competitors and other choices. Kind of disappointed a wasn't able to include Junger. Its merely for fun and attempting to get other people to do one of these as well. None of the writers on here are obscure just German so i'm sure why you think I have the air of intellectual snobbery.

>>4943946
The schools in most other countries aren't much better, as far as I know. I have portuguese as my first and learnt english by myself before I even finished high school because all they ever taught us was the verb to be (I'm serious). I now have some basic French and German like OP, but I'm still 20 and I was a NEET for a good 3 years.

Bottom line: I don't think it's the educational system's fault. I think it's the fault of the fact that english is the most universal language at this point.

B-but isn't neo-medievalism, as described by Hedley Bull and Umberto Eco, more of an apolitical and potentially emancipatory stance? I can't really see how an intellectually honest neo-medievalism could translate to any kind of para-fascism at all.

This. All they are doing is posturing. If someone accosts as to why they like Holderlin, Mishima, or Wagner, all they can say is "ugh, I just like them". No substance. Just posturing. However, I wouldn't expect anything less from /lit/.

I can explain to you all why I love everything I chose to stick on my picture, but it would be in french (I'm not good enough in english for this kind of stuff) and also extremely long. It basically is the same thing as if it was in my room, on a panel on my wall. If a stranger comes and sees it, he can ask me whom faces or pictures they are and I'd love to explain it to him if he's interested.
But if someone comes and don't even look at it, I don't care.

Poetry is an uninteresting waste of time.

The Godfather
>cuisine
Indian - particularly North Indian. I also like Pakistani cuisine, which is fairly similar.
>novel
A Confederacy of Dunces probably, though I haven't read many novels recently.
>composer
Frank Zappa. If we're limiting it to "classical" music, then Dvorak.
>constellation
Why would anyone have a favorite constellation ever?
>philosopher
Well, the official answer would be Kant, since he is objectively the most important philosopher. However, taking into account personal sympathies and preferences, I'd go with Searle, with Russell as a runner-up.
>equation
I guess I'll go with what Feynman called the "Beautiful Jewel" - e^xi = cos(x) + sin(x)i, since that's sort of the official answer, and I'm not a mathematician.
>play
I admit I haven't watched nor read too many plays, but I guess I'd say Waiting for Godot.
>quote

I dunno: something by Dali.

Any sort of darker beer will do. I especially liked this chocolate-flavored beer I had back in Germany, though I forget its name.

English for its glorious history. Aesthetically speaking, probably German.
