Don't get discouraged though, just enjoy yourself! I love learning new languages, especially on my own, because it make me feel like a detective sifting through clues and putting them together when I start to figure things out on my own. It's addictive! Your English is fantastic, I'm sure that you will be able to pick up another language, no problem.

I agree with you. Think of the fun.
And about the speed of any spoken language; try to get the gist of what they're saying, not the details. But there's a proverb; knowledge is power.

In my cup: cold Arabica-coffee.
