Maybe try learning a language Hans - like I said, I am up to 6 - feel confidently fluent in English (maybe ), Russian, French and conversant in Swiss-German, Norwegian and very basic Suomi (just ask Matt ). It truly does keep your brain active, because you truly don't know a language until you dream in that language. I've dreamt in French and Russian for years now.
Learning a language ... now that is something I could seek out .. in particular German. I understand Russian and Nordic languages are very difficult to learn. Back in my TAFE days I had a class with a guy from Switzerland whom spoke 4 languages, German/French/English and ... Latin.

If I learn German maybe I can interpret this: https://youtu.be/P22gPwGuLa0
