Beautiful sentiment that I agree with - I greatly enjoyed my Spanish class, got decent enough at it to have good experiences traveling in Spanish speaking countries, and ended up much more open to living abroad (which I’m doing now) and have language learning as one of my main hobbies. Was it useful for business or academically? Not particularly, but still very worth my while, and others have different experiences that resonated with them too. That all said, instruction quality is a big differentiator; I agree that most classes taught at schools are pretty miserably bad, so from that perspective, point taken.
