@timezone because they don't know you work a german-speaking job?

@hikari nah, they know that. it's more that they don't really understand how one lives and breathes a second language when you're properly immersed, and that on the continent speaking more than one language is really nowhere near as remarkable as it is in the uk

@timezone oh, yeah. it was like that for me with swedish, beyond a certain point it learns itself and i didn't have a reason to touch any study materials
