I learned Mandarin. I don't regret it but not sure if I'd do it again. I've been tempted by the notion that it being the world's most spoken language makes it somehow useful. There's little interesting Chinese content online (unless of course you're interested in something inherently Chinese which is true of every country). You won't want to read tech stuff in Chinese. You won't want to read news in Chinese. You won't wanna use a Chinese search engine. Heck, even if you live in China, the people you'll want to talk to you'll want to talk to in English. It's always cool to know a language especially if it's distant from the ones you already know. Sure I'll occasionally watch something in Chinese on youtube, someone might ask me to look at documentation for some machinery that's only in Chinese etc. But truth be told it's just a nuisance.
