When I started learning foreign languages, English being one of them, it was because I was interested in different cultures and to be able to experience the world at large in a more sophisticated way. Never in a million years would it have occurred to me that I should do it to boost my career.

And it's not like you learn it the British way, my English is half-British, half-Hollywood. Also with so many different languages in Europe, choosing a language to learn can determine the country you will be moving to.
