I accidentally refresh the page and erased my almost finished entry, here I go again. Recently I decided to give up on learning Mandarin. It's been a while since the last time I studied or even tried to, and I figured out this because I feel that my final goal was not to learn a language, but add more value to my career and get a better job, and I don't feel this might be the better tool I need now. I know from first hand that being fluent in a language that is widely used for businesses is a game changer, unfortunately Mandarin it isn't very used (yet) as a language for the industry that I'm involved with, the daily language is Spanish (since I live in Mexico) and English. I don't say that I didn't enjoy the process of learning not only the language, but also the culture, the history, and great people who gave their best to teach me a couple of sentences, but for now I feel they I need to put my time and attention to some other kind of knowledge.

I wanted to share with you guys this feeling, I guess as language learners you also had this idea crossing your mind, am I being honest to myself with my intentions of learning a new language?
