I don't understand why there is lack of incentive. After all, there
are all those books to *read* and there are people who's grandmothers
you won't be able to talk to unless you learn *some* Serbian, or whatever...

As a kid I learned *some* of about 8 languages. not enough to make
me fluent, but enough to say hello to people's grandmothers. I do not
understand why everybody else doesn't. Grandmothers are fascinating.
