I decided to learn Latin and Greek

Should I just learn Italian and would all the Romance languages like Spanish, Portuguese, French and Romanian sound intelligible enough to learn all of them?

You need to learn Aramaic and Hebrew. Don't be a fag.

>Spanish, Portuguese, French
Yeah, they probably would, but French pronunciation is a bit more awkward.
>Romanian
I'm not sure how to feel about this one as a native Romanian speaker. Most other romance speakers tell us they can't understand shit, but with Italian it might be a different story. There's this one Italian user on /lang/ that's learning Romanian and he's figuring it out like an absolute madman.

Learn spanish.

>Spanish, Portuguese, French and Romanian sound intelligible enough to learn all of them?
You'll just end up mixing them and not knowing which one is which. One at a time. Italian is probably the easier to understand the others, I can't understand most of the written shit in French or Romanian. Portuguese is easy peasy to read.

No, as a spanish speaker italian is mostly unintelligble.

Greek wont help you learn shit. A romance language would probably be more useful

This, portu easy af to read and write and to understand if they speak slowly.

For me portugal sounds like russia, not kidding

Which Greek, ancient or modern?
My Latin professor once tried to talk in ancient Greek when he was in Greece but he couldn't communicate at all with the locals.

you can't read french by learning latin or it*lian lol

Does hola or saludos have a cognate in italian or latin?

>My Latin professor once tried to talk in ancient Greek
I bet he tried doing it in the reconstructed pronounciation, most old people or even middle aged people haven't heard about this and if they do they consider it a western conspiracy theory to undermine Greek culture.

Yeah, everyone still teaches koine here for some retarded reason

Learn Spanish. It's more used worldwide.

I can put some ancient greek writings and see if you can read it.

I would love to make an attempt but there is a shuttershock watermark blocking most of it.

That's like thinking that by knowing english you can easily understand german or swedish

Socrates was a NIGGER

Depends what you want it for.

I want to learn to speak English with a Southern Accent.

Sokratis was infamous for being ugly you braindead racist scum.

kill yourselves, africans.

I won't argue with psychos.

I can get a lot of words from Spanish, Portuguese and French, and guess the remaining ones from context in a sentence. This is for written language, spoken is much harder.

I've had studied Spanish for three years back in middle school and even though l've never practised that language in 5 years, l can still make out about 60/70 % of a regular dialogue.
With that being said, studying Italian won't help you to understand other language for shit.
I don't understand a single word of French or Romanian, either written or spoken.

>I've decided to learn latin and greek
>Should i do something totally different??

Learn a language that interests you. Learning for any other reason will not result in success. Visit /lang/ general

>si vanta di essere discendente di cani emiliani
rido

So if we would have spoken it with the correct pronunciation they would have understand him?

Yeah dude

That's because you are a CHI. Seriously, I can get the general meaning of phrases in italian if I put attention

Ma che stai dicendo? Probabilmente sei tu che non sai parlare bene lo spagnolo...

as an italian speaker i understand better french than spanish (in the middle school they taught me french but it's irrelevant)

Learn turkish :^)

I learned french and I can understand some other romance languages partially
What are you saying? Probably you don't know how to speak Spanish well

porchiddio non ci credo

Would love to hear a guy speak middle german with me desu.

I don't believe you ?

The tough thing with French is most of English's vocabulary is from French but the pronunciations are usually different.

Aside from English, the only Latin languages I speak are Spanish and French.

Spanish I am pretty much fluent, French, not so much.

Spanish helps with knowing French, but French is still quite distant.

Italian seems more close to Spanish.

Portugese/Brazilian and Romanian/Moldavian, I have not had too much oppertunity to talk to these people.

But many Brazilians have an accent that sound like Polish.

A vague description, but to me, Romanian in ways looks French.

LOL! Ok!

What kind of "Spanish"?

Argentine Spanish is very much like Italian.

Was your professor named Marcus Brody?

French is more spread around the world than Spanish.

*around subsaharians

Asiaa and bunch of islands in the pacific.

It's still less spoken. Moreover, many places that have french as official language speak creoles, effectively different from standard french, while standard spanish is pretty much intelligible all over its area of influence

Me esta deciendo? Problamente es que tu no sabes hablar buen el español okay I got that one.

comprendi sta ciolla

Comprende este ?ciolla?

ciolla = penis

Is it cognate with polla?

no idea, but it is from a southern dialect, so maybe
