Very much a coffee person here, but more quality oriented than quantity oriented. I drink two cups every day, sometimes three, but only if it is good. I’d much rather drink no coffee than bad coffee. And I’m véry particular about what I call good coffee.
I’m Belgian. We have three national languages. One is my native language, I’m pretty good at another and I can express myself in the third. I also know English and have notions of a few other European languages. Though some Belgians only know one language or maybe two, most of us can hold our own in three or four. Sometimes more.
So let me just say this: learning a language will really open up a new part of the world for you. That’s not some stupid motivational shit to put on language textbooks. You’ll start to laugh at different jokes, pick up habits, views and culture that would have passed you by completely. It’s really hard to explain this to people who grew up in a mono-culture, but you are really, really missing out.
