Esperanto isn't. In point of fact, it's shit tier. It was created to be an easy language with simple syntax for easy adoption and learning among people of diverse backgrounds. Data-density wasn't even a concept then, brainlet. The argument could even be made that it's one of the least information dense languages.

I wouldn't consider it "inefficient" if it allows you to write like a fucking god.

>The more languages you speak, the less efficient the brain. English is the most information dense. If you were born an English speaker, then learning any additional languages serves only to hurt it.
God, are you a fucking stupid idiot. Definitely, English is the most information dense. That's why it's so fucking easy to learn. A real cheap piss copy of an actual germanic language.

I love you boo, say something more! Entice me with your sweet voice.

Only Butterfly is allowed to speak to me that way.

>The argument could even be made that it's one of the least information dense languages.
Literally false. Esperanto is medium level when it comes to information density.

Then I don't feel bad about being a languagelet

Latin is easy to get back into. Honestly, just invest in an up-to-date dictionary and you should be able to figure out/rediscover syntax and structure.

>i just mold my opinions on studies instead of trying for myself and i'll die ignorant defending a retarded opinion because an irrelevant study arrived at this irrelevant conclusion

No they dont. It's just brainlet studies coming to idiotic unsupported conclusions as usual. Paid and supporters by brainlets that can't cope with having to learn morevthan one language. It is well know that knowing more than one languages opens up new avenida of thought, lets you think about a problem on different perspective and makes You more introspective, not less.
Which is pretty fucking logical desu when you realize that it encourages checking your thought processes out to figure out of they fit each of your languages.
You probably are the kind of people that when someone says to "imagine a red star" can't See a fucking red star and has to repeat "RED STAR RED STAR RED STAR" in his head continuously thinking That's how you do it.

false. english is a mongrel language of german, french, old english, and various loanwords from greek, latin, and others. it barely qualifies as an actual language, it's just an abomination of fragments of several others patched together with bubble gum and duct tape.

there's a lot more where that comes from, too. however, Guru Nanak was definitely influenced by the vedas to the point where his words reference them explicitly.

New languages can open you up to new ideas but you should focus on one language and if that language isn’t your first you’re fucked.

Murrican cope.

How hard is it to learn how to read arabic and is are old arabic texts impossible to read with a understanding of modern arabic?

Start by trying to write names. Start simple with names like Bob, David, Marcus. Then go to bigger names like Ibrahim. Then you might as well start learning accents and inflections. Duolingo has a nice Arabic script course, but only for learning the script

swedish english, learning french and japanese. italian later on

confirmed that you can hardly read or speak a single one of those fucking languages lol

My German is good enough to read literature, and my Italian is almost there. But I rarely have the patience to tackle a full novel in a foreign language.

Latin is a work in progress and far more daunting.

Nip. It's a weird feeling not being able to naturally reproduce the same sentences you have no problem comprehending. Remember to practice your output.

What Kind of literature? Can you read Nietzsche? Imo you're fully fluent once you can read him without misinterpreting everything he's saying.

I read a bunch of early 20th century authors when I was taking German lit in college (Kafka, Musil, and Walter Benjamin). The last serious German work I read on my own for fun was actually Nietzsche (Wie man mit dem Hammer philosophiert). I have to read slowly and have a dictionary to hand, but I can manage.
