/language/

I don't think it was pasta, most Swiss men are losers who marry foreign women.

I took German all through high school and college. I keep up with it by listening to some podcasts, and occasionally reading German Veeky Forums.

I taught myself some Italian with grammar books, duolingo and flash cards. Good enough to read the news, though my accent is shit. I can struggle through literature, but don't know many authors.

I completed a bunch of other duolingo courses just for fun, but I'm not really fluent in any of them.

I've made it halfway through Oreberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, supplementing with reading from the Vulgate.

I'm not very focused.

I'm fairly sure I saw that pasta or a close variation in winter or spring. Try harder.

>only fluent in Swiss German
At least you can be a comedic blast at parties with Germans.

I've been smugposting my story on /int/ and on Veeky Forums before, but I always write it from scratch

I've been reading poetry books with the original side to side to the translation. I'm reading Rimbaud's ouvre right now and I feel it's getting easier to understand french as I plough through (I already had rudimentary knowledge though)

Don't rub it in, I know how hamstringed the language is. It's pretty much a language for children and old people who have nothing interesting to say. Even the proper German they teach in Swiss schools is regarded as infantile by actual Germans. Fuck this country.

Why don’t you know Spanish

>learn English naturally
>Finnish mother taught me finnish but I can't read it and it's slowly fading with the years
>mandatory Irish and French like
>tried to learn nip twice for mango and failed
>no real aspirations to learn another language cause all the good stuff is translated

if your fluent in italian and french you can read spanish
