Why?
Because I keep meeting people who speak a language that I don't! 14 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Why do some people like to draw, cook or paint while others don't? I could name some benefits to language
learning, but these things aren't necessary for life for the average person, but I just have this passion so it's necessary to MY life. I've been interested in foreign countries, geography and different languages ever since I remember, although I didn't get truly exposed to foreign language learning before I was 13. 7 years later I'm still loving every minute of it. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Out of passion. A sense of adventure. I love learning how to use the gurgling nonsensical sounds as becoming meaningful and nuanced in my mind.

Um... I just like it. And it's all there to be learned and used!
You could say I'm selfish and can't pick just one. That may be true. It's the same when I play a musical instrument. I didn't stop at learning one thing. I know many, and it all works together. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I truly don´t know. Polyglottery is a huge ocean. My expertise was moved by many
strengths. Change your reason. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Each language represents a new world of opportunities.

There's an interesting Romanian short story named "Budulea Taichii" by Slavici; there,
someone says that knowing a language is like having more holes in a flute. I think this applies, especially today. 5 persons have voted this message useful |
