Concept: Basically it would be a recap of misadventures in a one-way love story about a young man who takes on learning a language to impress a hyper-intelligent woman (who, of course, expressed her lack of interest in pursuing further romantic endeavors). Brilliant.
I can totally smell a best seller.
Edit: It would have a very natural presentation, likely a blog format, or a journal. Perhaps chapters could start with a journal/blog "entry" that leads into the scene.

I was disgusted by my inability to have an original thought on a controversial topic.
Freedom of speech means nothing without freedom of thought.
Our right to our own opinions is an illusion, because if you think about it (if you can still think), most people waste countless hours reading magazines, books, wikipedia, looking for someone else's words that they can absorb. Someone else's opinions that they can synthesize with, so that they can share those same old rinse and repeat statements that are essentially meaningless. The conspiracies and secrets lose all their intrigue when infectiously spread through a community, a civilization, that hasn't been trained for comprehension. Though given that they are informed, are they truly aware? Aware of the implications and repercussions? It's not an original thought to them. Due to the way it's being presented our history lacks meaning, lacks inspiration. When history and lifelong lessons are nothing more than common knowledge that nobody abides by they become accessories. A psycho-social fashion statement pre-washed so that we can walk into an office and demand respect because of a knowledge gained without understanding. I'm not offering a solution, frankly because of the way we've been trained to learn I'm not even offering you awareness. I'm offering you someone else's words that you can repeat to your colleagues and associates to increase your social status. Sickening.
