When the first thing that comes to your mind when you follow the news about the crisis in Greece is: Why on earth did I give up studying Greek two years ago?

When it seems like you spend half of your time trying to convince people that a) "all those exceptions" don't
make English the hardest language in the world or that b) "no cases and no noun gender" don't make English the easiest language in the world. When you point out that really, the difficulty of any language is going to depend on what your native language is and how many other languages you know, they look at you like you've gone insane. When it seems like you spend the other half of your time answering the question, "How many languages are you fluent in?"
