Alexander Arguelles | How to Find the Best Methods to Learn to Read Foreign Languages @ProfASAr | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
What are the best types of methods to use to learn foreign languages if your primary goal is to read literature in them? Books! Older books tend to have more substantial content, often aim at literature, and provide a measure of digital detox when using them. This video continues the conversation from last week by recommending materials for the 10 or so languages discussed. We then go into what other languages someone with the interests of this "proxy student" might eventually want to explore, particularly those (Arabic, Sanskrit, Classical Chinese) that serve as etymological sources for the majority of the world's languages.
