Currently learning german, any german knowers/learners have resource recommendations?
>>
>>25612557
What if I told you that English being your first language does not preclude you from learning a second or third?
>>
>>25612519
If by polyglot you mean ESL, that doesn't count just fyi. An Anglo learning a second language is drastically more impressive than anyone picking up the lingua franca out of necessity.

>>25612585

True. I'd be pretty impressed by that.

What are you looking for, pal?
>>
>>25612600
resources for learning german, currently using nico weg but its super slow. looking for good textbook, perferably one that assumes you know the basics of grammar. I spent time working through wheelocks latin so I know what a case system is, parts of speech, declensions, conjugation. I just need the german side of things explained.

Mhhh, to be honest I don't really know any good ressources in the classical sense since it is my native language.

Honestly, I’d recommend just getting the audiobooks about Greek myths by Peter Kämpfe (narrated by Dimiter Inkiow). They are on audible afaik but you can also get the physical cd's online if you prefer that.
They are very well put together and aimed at children, so the language used is relatively simple (while coming from a time before stuff like this started getting dumbed down to the extent it is today).
German dubbing and audiobook industry was truly excellent during that period, and Peter Kaempfe pretty much single handedly sparked my interest in Greek mythology and, through that, in literature itself.

If you listen to them often enough, you'll eventually understand more and more.
At the same time, you’ll also learn something about Greek mythology.

Sounds more fun to me than wherever the fuck Nico is going.

learning other languages is cultural cuckholdry. The only language you should know is that of your ancestors. Language is control. This is seen throughout the world as knowing english has become an economic necessity. Nothing exemplifies the globohomo consolidation of power more than needing to learn a language in order for a country to survive, whether politically or economically. Its a tacit admission of serfdom.

The only language I want to learn is Japanese because I want to consume their media with a deeper understanding of their language so I can take in all the little turns of phrase and mannerisms that are lost in translation.
Couldnt find a reason to learn anything else and I hate that consoom is what drives me, but it is what it is.

To their credit, they do erotic content better than any other culture in the history of the world.

How many mgs of estrogen are you on? Japan fetishists are the most disgusting, pathetic people. Imagine being curious about the most suicidal, degenerate and incelibate race of people in existence. They are dying because they are weak and pathetic and can't fuck. For most of history people have tried to learn the champion languages of the powerful like Latin and American English.

My plan is to do Pimsleur up to level 5 which is five months, at the same time study a French for reading textbook so I should be able to read French novels within those five months. Then start the process with the next language while continuing to use French daily. Half a year doesn't seem like too long to wait.

>>25616447
I already dominate the language of the strongest, the language of the only winners in history. Everything else is redundant and a matter of personal choice.
Need I remind you that before american English won, Japan was a mighty empire not unlike nazi Germany (which also lost to English)? Need I remind you they have this rich history and tradition of samurai warriors and all that shit? I'm not even being a weeaboo about it; they lost and now they are a soft-power that even South Korea has totally mogged, but I have the mental faculties to learn their language and it's indeed the only language that has ANYTHING of value to offer to me that english doesn't.
Keep learning your dead language though. I might do it after I'm done with Japanese.

>too much fun ... masturbating to have children
And Japan is different because ... ? For a retarded faggot that spends his life fantasizing about Japan, you don't know the first thing about how perverted and degenerate the average Japanese person is. They are not some noble, virginal people. They need separate trains for men and women because the men can't stop touching women. Most Japanese media is about sex either explicitly or implicitly. There are explicit sex scenes in every children's cartoon over there. Yes, Japanese people are masturbation addicts if you need it spelled out to you.
