@hikari how do i pick a book for picking up a language

serious question btw

@whitequark oh, that's a great question, and i'm honestly not sure i can immediately answer it. is there a particular language you're interested in learning?

@hikari it used to be german, mainly because i like how it sounds

but these days i feel like it might just not be warranted with the very few useful hours a day i have due to fibro

@whitequark oh, interesting. i feel like i'd struggle to really recommend good resources for self-directed study, but i personally have a great affection for that language and would love to answer questions about it, if you ever have them

@hikari idk i mean i could just use german to talk to you or something. probably more useful than resources per se
