The languages spoken poll got me thinking...
Some people learn languages that are only used in one country in the world and that country is miles away from them, so I wonder why they bother learning that language unless they plan to go and live in that country?
So all you Europeans or Americans learning Japanese and Russian or other remote languages - why bother? Personally, I studied French because I had to, and it makes sense since I go there a lot on holiday. Secondly I studied German since that is an important language spoken in Germany, Austria and Switzerland where I also go on holiday and is understood as the unofficial second language in many countries such as Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary etc. So these are perfectly logical reasons in my book.
