People are strange, and I say that with a level of confidence that I'm one of the strange ones.
I love learning. I find it fun. I Google the most ridiculous things sometimes.
I'm learning Italian. People keep asking me why. I don't have an easy answer.
I don't plan to visit. There's no book I'm desperate to read. No film I want to see. My few Italian friends speak excellent English. It's unlikely to be useful for work.
I saw a menu in Italian and I thought, huh, that looks interesting. But whenever I see writing in another language I have the impulse to learn it.
It was an impulsive decision.
I don't have a reason. I don't really have a goal.
Because I want to, because it's fun, because I love learning.
