What a fucking language! The absolute precision and sonority are equalled by no other tongue in the world. German is simply the most masculine and cool Germanic language. Once you know the rules, it starts to make a lot of sense, unlike English. The only downside about German is that some Germans pronounce their Rs like in that homosexual and disgusting ape screech known as French. I want my Rs to sound like Rs, not like fucking sickening phlegms from subhuman throats! And also they sometimes don't finish their words! Think British English (the non-rhotic dialects). But then German literature is literally GODLIKE and it's worth the price of admittance alone, so it's all forgiven! Sadly the modern German person is a burgerized pussyllanimous bugman! Their literature should be the main focus, not the unworthy social aspect. Either way, this tongue is unparalleled. The thinking man's language. Latin of the 21st century.

it's garbage. I am forever traumatized by the time I spent learning it. I have a genuine disgust for germans because of it.

>>24538793
what happened exactly?

the structure of the language simply poisoned my soul.

There's not enough literature to justify learning German
You're better off learning French, Russian or Italian
If you want philosophy then sure, go ahead

no one cares mutt

>>24538788 (OP)
If I try to get a PhD in Classics I have to learn German. I don't like the German culture I like the French. I do like German products though I like the precision mindset with things I do and use

>>24538878
oh course a classics PhD at the nearest university offering one requires another language in addition, either French or Italian is recommended, but I could get by with Spanish
I don't even want to get a PhD since academia isn't that appealing at all except for getting paid to study things but the scope is too narrow and the university system seems onerous but I'm not even a graduate student so what do I know

No German would even begin to phrase this drab trash even at the height of their supremacist delusions.
You just know OP is some sort of wehraboo or brown (possibly both). I get second hand embarrassment for German anons that will be confronted once again to their third world swarthoid fans. Except they aren't fans, they dislike Germans (as OP openly does), outside of daddy Hitler I presume.
Then comes the "masculinity" out of nowhere for maximum cringe. It's even complete with the mandatory inferiority complex to England and, even more telling, France (99% of actually literate Germans through history would fawn at French, you know OP is trying to ape the one dismissive comment from Copehauer in the middle of his trashing of all white people -most of all Germans- while blushing at jeets).

>>24538878
As a people, the French are worse than the Germans.

>>24538827
>Italian

>>24538913
take your meds

>>24538915
I'll be the judge of that when I visit there eventually
I like the Italians, even if they clearly have second-world roads.

>>24538933
Italians are cool. A bit too loud sometimes but they have a good heart.

I'm feeling pretty ambitious now. I'm not Trump deranged or anything but I kind of feel like a European nation is a more cozy fit for me so I'm shopping around different cultures/places in a sense.
Greece is next on my list to visit I guess with my classics major plan. France seems very appealing to me IN THEORY but I know some Spanish too if archaeology in Spain is possible
I'm not doing food service and this data entry bullshit is only for a museum internship you can't make me do this shit

I studied it for a bit, and while it was rather funny, it was unpleasant. I had a consistently bad feeling whenever I spoke German.
French is much more soothing to speak and read for whatever reason

>>24539306
French is horrible to speak. Spoken French was a mistake. Italian and Spanish sound more consistent.

Just because you don't know any German books doesn't mean it's actually true.

>>24540000
The only ones I care about are Thomas Mann, Kafka and Zweig

The grass is always greener I suppose. Care to share some of those german works that would justify learning the language? I haven't stumbled upon any yet. I find myself reading anglo literature almost exclusively unless when reading in translation for which german is very useful (arguably moreso than reading native literature)

>>24540024
>Care to share some of those german works that would justify learning the language
Basically anything by Hölderlin (his poems, Hyperion)
Anton Reiser
Der abenteuerliche Simplicissimus
Novellas by E.T.A. Hoffmann
Lenz by Georg Büchner
Anything by Novalis (poems, Heinrich von Ofterdingen etc.)

To just name a few
