Yeah--I know a lot of them too. You're definitely not alone there.
But I have no idea why it is. I also know that some people can't learn a foreign language to save their lives, whereas others pick them up quickly, with exactly the same instruction. (and I'm talking about people who started studying their first foreign language at 14 or 18 or 21--with language, we know that exposure before the age of 5 is hugely important, but there can still be disparities in people who didn't have that exposure. I don't know what we know about math.)
