Even today, I try to get my hands on English versions of books, movies, TV shows and games whenever I can, mostly because I enjoy the language, less as some sort of study.

Hi Scar. I kinda stumbled upon this conversation and was wondering why you (or anyone) would enjoy the English language (or enjoy any other language, for that matter)? What is there to 'enjoy'?

I'm speaking as one of those people who cannot be bothered to learn another language (though I did learn French for a few years, at school). I'm just puzzled as per why one might enjoy another language, as of course that has never happened to me. Perhaps if I were to understand your experience, I might be more inclined to want to learn another language myself (certainly, I never enjoyed learning French, to be honest). I understand that learning is made easy when one enjoys doing it, so I'd really like to get into the mindset of somebody who enjoys learning another language. Thanks.
