Because I love languages, so you can say it's a hobby. :) It's no fun if you learn a language because you have to and not because you want to.

I like to learn about different cultures as a hobby.

Every new language adds something to my personality. The world looks brighter and I get true pleasure from process.

sorry, I just typed at the wrong place.. it should be here as an answer. I'm an uni student.. when I finish my Civil Engineering University just one thing will be the deferential between me and the others... my international experience.. as I am Brazilian and the biggest economic partner of Brazil nowadays is China, I thought that would be amazing for me to speak Portuguese (native), English (I've been to Australia for a year and I'm still studying it), Chinese Mandarin (I'm doing a regular course and I will finish it in 4 years -- together with the University) and French (that I'm doing a regular course as well but I will finish it before the Chinese Mandarin one because it is a little bit easier for me)... so if I put my Civil Engineering College Degree on a high rated University here in Brazil... together with 4 languages and international experience... I will for sure get a nice job and a nice wage as well.

I am curious about the history of languages and how they evolved. Though English is one of the Germanic languages, we have many words that come from the Romantic (Roman) languages of Spanish and French. I'm just curious about the subject.
