Would be learning 古文 learning another language at the same time? 
Well in order to make real progress you are going to need to dedicate a lot of time to it, which will take time away from studying modern Japanese. All the resources will be written in modern Japanese so it's pretty justified though.

Yeah, I think I'll learn the basis. I'm not interested in learning to read it fluently, at least for the moment. Thanks!

I would think of it as learning 文語, not 古文, since they are really two different things
-
I see, the subject is 古文 because it's kind of the old texts, and 文語 the language right? When I search it in wikipedia it's confusing because there are a lot of names haha, but yeah I think we are talking about the same thing.

Yes, 古文 is actual old language from up to 1000+ years ago. 文語 is the GRAMMAR that is used in 古文, but was also used all the way up to the meiji period. So for example, although things written by 福沢諭吉 are written in 文語, it's not 古文 (and not hard to learn to read)

I see I see, now it makes sense. So I'll learn a little bit of 文語 and I'll leave 古文 for later on. Thanks for the explaination!
