Have a Masters degree in French Literature; took 5 years of Latin; minored in Spanish; took one year of German; spoke limited Italian at home. Thought I would teach Comparative Literature but fell into a fast track management trainee program and progressed up the organization ranks and onto the parent company.
Used the French on our ski trips to Switzerland, Germany and Austria.....the menus were translated into French. My ski group kept me busy translating !!!
Being able to read and even speak a foreign language helps to clarify your writing and thinking.
It also gives you more confidence when speaking English.
One caveat: do not use language learning material while driving because it will take too much attention from driving and lead to an accident.
We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.
