I've never been disenchanted by the charade of what tries to come off as philosophy. Thought experiment: Put a humorous and free-minded philosopher in a pandemic lockdown. If the person doesn't come out with some biting humor, that person has been faking it. Zizek syndrome.

Going to try it soon, probably Spanish, (did Latin at school). From what I have heard the most important thing is wanting to speak with people in the other language, and then doing so.

For druj's sake, don't. If you learn one language you have learned it all. Invest your cognitive resources on more rewarding cognitive enterprises.

Sure, I meant to compare a second language to one's mother tongue. Some research suggests the better you are at one's mother tongue, the better you are in cementing a second language. was wondering especially when you're dealing with philosophy as complex as it could get.

Can't testify to that. While I knew a great deal of Farsi, learning English was difficult. Everyone can learn another language but the real challenge is aiming to master a language. That I think requires reading texts and behave as if you were an algorithmic learning machine.
