> Unless you frequently travel somewhere where another language is spoken, have family that speaks another language, or want to travel places like that [...] As someone who has studied a handfull of languages and have no talent for language learning I would agree. If you have no connection to the language and no desire to travel to a place where it's spoken, it would be like any other hobby. But if you want to get to know a culture in depth or work in another country it's pretty much mandatory.
