Hi! I like history and languages, too! I'm only learning German right now, but I am majoring in Linguistics. I'm reading the journal of a Hessian mercenary right now. I'm new to reading about military history, though (I started because it's related to my main interest, creating fiction), and I have some stupid questions that would probably get people in history forums annoyed at me...
I learnt German at school. It's a very fascinating language and it has changed relatively little over time compared to for example English, but it has changed a lot compared to Icelandic which is very, very similar to Old Norse. If you know German then it's also easy to learn for example Old English. I tried to learn Old Norse too, it went fairly well but there aren't a lot of people who would talk Old Norse with me so I never learnt to speak it fluently. I want to read the Hessian's journal too...What is it called?
