Rant of the Day: Why Should I bother learning a Foreign Language?

As I sit at my computer, desperately trying to memorize Chinese characters and useful phrases, I discover to my horror that my efforts may be in vein. A  genius with a couple of Raspberry Pi's (cheap basic computers) and some special glasses has created an wonder contraption which subtitles foreign language speakers in real time.

Like many Brit's, I'm useless at language learning. Two years of German and five years of French resulted in nothing due to lazy and/or incompetent teachers teaching uninterested teenagers. Whoever conceived the national curriculum for language learning in the UK should be hung drawn and quartered, for starting it at 12 years old, just as kids lose their natural ability for language learning.

Thanks to these idiot's, whole generations of Brits have needlessly suffered the horror of language learning as an adult with no second language to show for it. Meanwhile the rest of the world learns English (and a plethora of other lingo's) and Britain wonders why its Economy is doing so badly.

The typical British monolingual retard. Just like me.

So I thank you, the saviour of the Monolingual Retard (being surrounded by bilingual/trilingual people makes me feel incredibly stupid and dejected, so forgive me for this monologue of self loathing), for creating this wondrous device, I hope one day this technological masterpiece can become accessible to everyone in the form of an app, as everything seems to be becoming these days. 

P.S. If you happen to be one of those lucky people who just pick up Languages incredibly easily. I hate you! (Meaning of course I envy you and wish I had your amazing ability)
