So my native language is Greek but we must also study ancient Greek (which is a dead language and not actually foreign but...) and some people think that since the ancient one is basically the roots for the modern one then it's very easy to study it.Well no!┗( T﹏T )┛ It's kinda hard and I'm not fond of it.We also learn English and then we can choose between French, German (and in some rare cases Italian or Spanish) in School~oh and later on some study Latin as well!（￣へ￣） I (am supposed to) have finished basic English and now struggle with the French and I really want to learn Russian ヾ(☆▽☆)
...please, don't say so. It's the language of the Epic. I know it's hard, but just for the privilege of being able to red Plato in his original form, you should appreciate it. They say Plato and Dostoevskij are among the most beautiful things ever written but, of course, they mean in their original languages. Think of it as a privilege… you'll be able to read the man who is the base of the entire western culture. I envy you. Actually, I should stop loosing my time here and start studying russian in order to read Dostoevskij in his own mother language. Just this evening someone told me about Tolkien being completely inspired by greek classics...
yeah I get what you mean and It's totally worth it, still it's kinda not my experty I prefer science and stuff but definitely give it a try if you have the patience and really want to! It's just a lot of studying and dedication >.<
