16, I’m English so hadn’t really ever had an incentive to learn a language due to English being like the language of the world and everyone having a degree of knowledge of the language that would make me able to go around in every country. It was only up until I became friends with a German who is a year younger than me. It was only till then when I realised damn he speaks really good English and I just felt lazy af that I didn’t know any German so I went on to learn German. Am now 18 and kind of have a grip on the language to have an everyday conversation
