the most important thing is that you love and enjoying what you're doing... otherwise it'll be just a burden and a waste of time. so far, I'm enjoying learning chinese.... :)

to have friends from different part of the world. to know what is happening in any country.

hi, well your question is really important since no one tell why he is learning the language he is learning.you can find different point of view but my view is not to get a better job even that i'm an unemployed girl a_a. so for me i love turkish because the move of the leps is really different than my mother tongue or even french or english. they use a lot of vowels, the pronounciation has really attracted me. i had know it from turkish movies then i bacame interested in. or to say the truthe i'm in love with eveything concerning Turkey; language, religion, daily habbits, food, tarditions, culture history, simple people, Istanbul,..... i want to know everything about Turkey because i hope one day to visit it and why not to live in. this love came by just chance like for other people with other languages; chinese, french, italian, spanish, russian, nederlands...etc. i would not say english because it's became a necessity to learn it because it's an important way of communication today. So good luck in learning languages. a_a

my opinion is this amigo! its truely hard to find jobs this days.learning different language will help you in your future or even day to day life. why if you have travel in other countries at least you have advantage since you have already known some of their laguages. even if theirs a foriegn in your place to you can communicate to them they will be amaze that you can speak their language.(in short communication with other people who speak different languages that's the importance ) see you.. cowboy

I'm learning Italian because I want to live in Italy for a few months.
