If I have someone to learn from, yes. Especially if they're one of the easier things to learn. If I have to do all the research myself, then it can take a little longer. For instance, when I had to learn about thermodynamics it too me nearly all night, but when I had a friend to teach me sign language, I was communicating on a basic level within 30 minutes.
Yes, please, if you have the time, I would enjoy learning all of those things, and I'm sure ticket wouldn't mind having to people around with that kind of knowledge base.
