It's really possible not to learn the language, me & my parents have been travelling to Germany each year (sometimes twice a year) for the past 26 years and they didn't learn a thing, maybe few words simply because they were among people who spoke their language and even in stores they didn't try to use it always relying on family members. I learned German because I was watching a lot of cartoons (RTL2 ftw) but since no-one actually spoke German to me (besides short conversations in stores when I was older) I understand everything but I'm not that good at speaking.

I've been learning Japanese on and off for the last ten years but whenever I'm in Japan, Japanese don't really want to talk to me in Japanese, they always want to try their English on me (which was funny the first time I went there because my English was very bad and I tried to aswer them in Japanese).

If Ayu (and others) keeps Timmy as her English practice tool then he actually can still be pretty bad or it can be an act, a kind of 'cute gaijin' image. Maybe.

I really hope for It was / Liar / Criminal, omg, I can't :p
