Don't. Learn something fun instead. If you're into classic languages, learn Common Lisp, or Scheme, or APL. If you're into more recent stuff, try Caml, or Haskell, or perhaps Idris. And don't worry too much about your employability: if you're smart and know two or three programming languages, you'll be able to adapt to whatever technology is fashionable when you start looking for a job.
