I don’t think the German people at work know that I can now understand most of what they say, despite not really speaking any German (because I never practice, nor care to.)

That kind of thing, I learn fast. I’m the exact opposite in languages as compared to math.

In languages, I can just play. I’m top tier, and there’s no reason to be modest. It just is. In math, I just can’t do anything worth a damn, and the things I can do I forget quickly.
