    What about old you? I’ve always thought reading the classics in their mother tongue would be great!

      Sure. I learned english largely to be able to read OG Pratchet & Tolkien. Old Greek & Latin I have actually zero interest into most of it. Maybe if that’s your thing it would be great but in that case nothing it preventing you to learn old language whenever. Young-me had no choice - those were mandatory at school.
