I like the idea of John not understanding the beauty and romance of languages. He's a circle king but he goes to these countries to do a job for the Marines and hang out with other Americans when he's not working.
House is, by nature, an outsider. He'll never be part of those cultures, but his intellectual curiosity means he will learn something every where they go.

These beautifully capture that dichotomy.
