Do any of you know many European languages? Is it realistic to learn 8-10 languages for reading? I'm interested in Slavic and Romance languages, as well as Greek and German.
I speak Russian, Ukrainian and English. Now I am learning French and Polish.

>Is it realistic to learn 8-10 languages for reading?
Sure, many languages are close enough to read
>Is it realistic to learn 8-10 languages for reading?
yes, if you count these as different languages
>be norwegian
>learn russian
Congratulation, you now speak like 10 languages.
Can you read texts in Finnish or Karelian?
Languages I'm most interested in:
Russian, Polish, Czech, Serbian
English, German
French, Italian, Spanish, Latin
Greek
If learning languages were easier, I would add Dutch, Icelandic and Portuguese.
You can also add Serbo-Croatian (Serbian, Montenegrin, Croatian, Bosnian)
even if finnish and estonian sound same they are completly different
you know russian so you know ukrainian and belorusian. learning polish will be a lot easier. learn czech and you will know slovak. learn serbian and by combining it with czech you will pretty much speak slovenian. learn bulgarian and you will know macedonian.
no
there is no point in learning them lol
Yeah I get the main gist of them, main vocab is same but like half of it is different vocabulary
realistic for reading newspapers, not realistic for reading classic literature
Are you talking about Polish or other languages too?
About knowing 8-10 languages total. It just takes too much time to get to know a language/culture/vocabulary enough to read classical lit.
Learning Polish on a basic level won't be hard at all
>Belgium has more people than Greece
Greece is truly fucked isn't it?
The European languages are closely related, especially the Romance languages.
>you know russian so you know ukrainian and belorusian
No, it will take some time to learn belarusian and ukrainian
it's not unrealistic
with some exceptions, languages of the big three families always get easier as you learn new ones
maybe learn spanish first if you don't know any romance yet to get familiar with the lexicon
??
i don't get it?

>French, Italian, Spanish, Latin
If you know well one of them, any of the others takes no more than a month to reach a basic level.
Fucking boring
I know Japanese and Chinese. I want to learn Hindi, Tamil, Persian and some SEA language, maybe burmese or khmer. And also Tibetan. I doubt I'll ever learn all these but I hope that I at least will be able to read in Hindi in the next year
I know Ukrainian, English, German, a bit of Spanish. Trying my best to forget russian
