[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve learned plenty of German and found I never had a use for it. I visited Germany where I have ancestry, Switzerland where I have family, and have never had any reason for it to do anything but atrophy after that. In the end utility is the name of the game. [/quote] I don’t speak German but this. Also it’s much easier to keep abreast and use the language when you are exposed to it and hear it regularly in your town. In North America, except maybe Canada, that is Spanish. I don’t speak any Spanish but I can tell you just living in DC, I hear it all the time and being in a professional service industry, it would have been invaluable to learn and know it. DH’s stepmom is fluent in German. She lived and worked there for about 1/3rd of her life. Doesn’t use it at all outside of living in Germany.[/quote]
