    Learning a new language sometimes might be frustrating, as it requires so much time and efforts, but we can't deny the joyful moments when you make progress ..

    Many people say that learning a new language is like running a marathon, I disagree profoundly. When you ran in a marathon like it or not there will be an end. Language change, evolve, learning a new language is something that you need to embrace forever!

    To be honest, it's so captivating how languages are working. Like when you learn new languages you also know your own too, so always when you heard something in language that you learn and you understand it even a little bit it brings me some thoughts like wow how the brain is working. You can understand one word in different languages, whole phrase in different languages and it is so unusually fascinating

    In answer to the initial "why?" question. I accidentally discovered Western classical music on the radio at age 9 and was hooked for life. That drove me to dig deeper, so in high school a few years later, I did 4 years of French and German. Numerous benefits. Unfortunately, most everyone here in California, except many Latinx folks and immigrants, only speaks one language so I never get to practice with other people. To keep my languages basically alive, I do sundry things like reading Quora out loud in French and German plus attending stream media in those languages. Due to lack of direct practice, my two-way conversational skills are weak. On rare occasions speaking French with someone, my brain may insert a German word when I've forgotten the French word for something and vice versa. These days, what I really need is Spanish, and I should do that.
