Do you know any other languages aside from English?
Is there any language you'd love to learn? If so, why?

I took Spanish in high school and college. I was exposed later to a lot of Korean and knew the alphabet.

I use Babbel on my phone.
I'm trying to learn Spanish, German, Polish, and Russian - mainly just to know them.
When I was getting my Master's Degree in Anti-Terrorism and Counterintelligence, I was actively learning Arabic but I let that go and forgot it all.

I've never been fluent in another language. That's because there hasn't been enough immersion.

You can often make more money when you speak additional languages.

Especially if you can read, write, and speak different languages.

There is a guy on YouTube I watch, Sabbatical and he knows a lot of different languages and travels all over the world using them.
His videos are pretty cool.

I'd like to get into learning languages, but I have to prioritize what can make me money. Well, languages can make you money, but I already got a lot of math and science knowledge and I'd rather focus on that.
