What skills you want to learn or improve? What is your motivation for learning? Better skillset for your carer? Personal development? Wanting to master a certain skill?

At hand now, I wish to learn the Russian language in order to be better able to learn and study its peoples' rich artistic and general cultural history - tying into a longer term goal of improving my understanding of human mentality through study of cultural artifacts and philosophy, as well as chiefly the processes thereof. Additionally I'm learning finance at university; my goal being to be able to through a highly profitable career eventually create a strong safety net for myself as I study and create, and to if nothing else be able to contribute to the world through effective distribution of monetary resources - through working in monetary management services and through acting as an angel investor.

This board is very well appreciated, board owner; I struggle to adequately explain why I see this board's idea as being among the grandest of ideals that can be found in an informational community, but please do know of and consider this statement of mine nonetheless.

Well that's always good :) If you can be a bit more precise as to what you're curious about, we might be able to find something to feed your curiosity.

Looking for things about the Roman empire, not so much things about the fall like Edward Gibbon but more about Roman life

These two offer some pretty interesting analyses of the Roman Empire, the first on Crime and Punishment in the Roman Empire and the second on the economy of the Roman Empire.

It's hard to find a lot on the day-to-day life of the plebian class due to the fact that most of them couldn't write or read, so most of what we know about Roman life from their point of view is either archaeological or told through the eyes of the political classes, but analysis of things like the economy and crime and punishment give us an opportunity at insight into their world - these are elements of the system that the plebs would likely have more involvement in or contact with than, say, military or political history.

I know the feeling anon, I have such a desire to learn everything there is to learn about the past.

To be honest the "Crash Course: Big History" and "Crash Course: World History" (and most of what they do, actually) are pretty damn good. https://www.youtube.com/user/crashcourse

Is there a specific period you want to start with? The first settled civilizations could be a natural place - see pdfs attached.

Also check out the historical cartography thread here >>>/freedu/282

for now, i'm studying Japanese, improving my English and other minimun knowleges

I want to study more languages like : French, Russian, German, and maybe another language i found interesting

Also, iw ant to study about animals, science, astrology, and maybe arts,
Idk if someday it would be helpful for me to know this things, but i just want to learn as much as posible!

My motivation i think is seeing the past and say " wow, i've learned many things! i know about stuff other people don`t, and i don't care if a don't have anybody to show what i know, i feel powerful with my knowlege!!"

>>299
sorry for this, but i've been lurking in these languages threads and i always see the "Esperanto" thing, what is it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto

It's an international language, made in the 1880s. It was designed to transcend all language barriers. It didn't really take off quite as had been hoped when it was first made but a lot of people use it, it's pretty cool, worth learning.

Keep browsing the board anon, there's a bunch of material here!
