I've never met a well learned man who couldn't speak (passably) a second language, just as I've never met a well learned man who couldn't do at least high school level math. It's a hobby if you're learning for fun. Or a needed skill for you. Not every needs to learn languages. Plus, I feel more people probably use math in their lives. Even in high school, when learning a language, you just need to know it enough to pass a class. If you literally don't use it afterward, most people start forgetting it. Which is probably ok since it seems to be useless to you. It is a great skill to have. But not always needed. And not having it doesn't make you uneducated... That I made Bs in French class. Took a few years of it. Barely know any of it now aside a phrase maybe two. I never got great at speaking or understanding it in class but I was good at reading and writing it. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
