Theres one reason i want to learn a different language, i want to go into a shop/cafe/bar whatever, speak in English and you know pointing to whatever i want to order, as we English do abroad.
Then i want to listen to what they might say about me/us, evesdropping like, dunno why but it just appeals to me that.
But that is just a lottery as to whether you learned the right language in school or not. "We'll teach these kids French, they may need it some day", half of that class may then leave school and move to Spain, it would have been grand if they were taught Spanish instead.
And fair point midds
