The problem with language learning is that without a good reason for learning you are unlikely to stick at it. I used to be that guy that wanted to learn a ton of foreign languages. I'd start enthusiastically, buy the learning materials and then it would dawn on me. "When am I going to get to China or Russia? How will these help me in the near future or even the long term?" These days I've realised that I'm only going to learn a language if it's in my best interest to do so. I'm focused on Thai (my wife's native language) and French because I'm moving to Canada.
