I've lived all my life only 35 miles from the border with Wales, and yet I speak barely a word of Welsh.Yeah, I know .... I just find it a little surprising you've never been interested in German. De gustibus non disputandumst, I guess.
I've already thought of learning it. But well, I just can't learn everything at the same time (everyone isn't like a certain Arca lol ) .
