Yes, you're right. But the reason for my frustration is my expectation is after more than a decade in both languages I would be able to watch a fecking TV show.

I'm actually frustrated with both, I kept bringing up Italian in that post simply because I was thinking of dropping everything except one language, and since I started with Italian I would like to just get somewhere.
