Many reasons exist for learning a second or third language. Only a partial list is below. What are you reasons for learning another language?
1. Travel - Whether it's Paris or Phuket, knowing a little of the local language goes a long way. Natives always appreciate another attempting to speak their language.
2. Culture - Perhaps you are interested in the literature, poetry, films, TV programs, music or some other aspect of the culture of people who speak a particular language and want to learn their language in order to gain a better understanding of their culture. What a joy it is reading, listening or watching culture in its original language. Reading Cervantes' Don Quijote de la Mancha in Spanish or Hugo's Les Misérables in French beats a translation any day.
3. Food - Language, culture, and food are intertwined. From sipping French wine or savoring chocolate and churros, one gains a greater appreciation of food and culture by knowing the language.
