I'm a qualified TEFL teacher though.
So, you are just not into the learning languages.
It's common when a person don't have much motivation to learn a language.
I think if you know English, you can afford not to learn something else. There are many things in English (movies, books, guides, articles and so on) and people don't have much motivation to lern something else, only if being interested in it.. I think so
I want to move to Russia, and have many Russian friends. Its not a lack of motivation, its a lack of time and ability. I am just very bad at languages.
