Yes, I'm jealous. I only know 5 languages, but since my vocabulary in English is so minimal I'll never be able to read Beowulf in the original Old English unless I study.

I don’t read in English to honor your language, I do it to take the little bit of gold it has and make it better in mine for the glory of my country.
