On that note, the other day I was absolutely stunned by a German word. It's Maßstab, and in Russian it sounds exactly the same and means the same thing... Except in German it has an etymology that makes sense (Maß - measure, Stab - staff), but in Russian it's... a combination of sounds for that particular thing (it means "the scale of a map").
...Oh, and before I got distracted: I suppose I'm not enough of a music fan, but it kind of doesn't count towards something that makes a considerable difference. Sure, I basically need music to function, but it can be even entirely instrumental, not to mention any language...
It may sound bizarre, but at this point I'd settle for a foreign-language friend. But it's one of many things I haven't managed to figure out in almost 30 years.

I'm sure Google Play has a lot of music on it, I just like Spotify better as there seems to be more artists on there. My German playlist now has 863 songs, I don't think I'll ever listen to them all, but hey it's a good repritour of music to have. Also I'm finding that I'm liking music in the German language better than English (maybe because there's more goth/metal in German), even though I cant understand the lyrics yet.
