That is fair. I was living in Turkey when I went to Ukraine so spending 3 months learning a third language at the time was all I could commit.
I understand others wanting to practice with a native English speaker, and them getting the chance was probably more beneficial than me speaking Russian. Though the stereotype of Americans not attempting to learn a 2nd language gives me a slight annoyance, though nothing I lose much sleep over :)
The only language I could not grasp when traveling was Nepalese. Though all Asian languages based on tones has given me trouble.
