Learning a foreign language is so worth it. I speak 5 different languages and one foreign language that I wished I would have really focused on and practice is Spanish. At a young age I learned those 5 languages by being around different tribes. When I cam to the U.S, and enter high school, I had to sit in a classroom and study Spanish, do homework etc. This is where learning it didn't work for me. I learn languages by being around people that speak that specific language, so that whole classroom thing did not work for me.
