"That is only true when the other language is one that someone else you want to talk to speaks AND the other person doesn't speak your language" Don't agree. It's good for self development even if you'll never use it very often. Language is an extremely powerful human concept. It forms cultures. They say Germans are candid and direct? Well, maybe that's because there's usually only one way to say something in German! In English, you can almost always say something that has two meanings, at the very same time. Learning a language is like visiting a completely foreign culture and it can change your view of things. It's like having an extra limb. Life is very long, there's plenty of time to learn all sorts of things. A second language is useful, which is why there are all sorts of options in grade school. And Chinese is a pretty good option.
