[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outlier here! I think any and all exposure to foreign languages is a benefit. The brain-conne ruins are valuable as well as just exposure to the fact that people have different words for the word “apple”, for example. I grew up with exposure to French and Spanish, taught informally by a grandmother and nanny (both who also spoke to me in English, and languages were always easy for me to pick up as a student in high school, college, and beyond. I can now speak and read in five languages. I passed fluency exams in two. Do it, OP! If nothing else even a little Spanish for you and nanny is of value. [/quote] I agree. Through language you also learn culture. If you're fine with proficiency not being the goal, OP, learning another language can be very enriching. And later, if there are opportunities for more studying and/or immersion (study abroad or whatnot), it could eventually turn into fluency. [/quote]
