I find it hard to imagine learning a language that I don't foresee myself using at least once a week IRL
I've tried learning French and German but honestly I very rarely encounter speakers of those languages and can count on one hand the number that didn't also speak English.
I've been learning Spanish though for nearly a year to great success.
Now get this. I live in Montreal and three years in I can still barely understand français québécois, despite being immersed in it.
Latin languages seem to be my nemesis.
This is why I struggle with the languages I want to learn. No use for them in the fay to day though I am sure I could find more German speakers than Scottish Gaelic
Du muss nicht unbedingt sprechen um eine Sprache zu benutzen. Du kannst auch z.b. Medien anschauen auf der Sprache, oder lesen. Das letzte Mal, dass ich jemanden zum Englisch sprechen hatte war auf einer Hochzeit, ist also auch eigentlich sehr selten.
Por supuesto que si, tienes razón. Pero si solamente quieres aprender un idioma, cualquier idioma, generalmente es mejor si tienes un uso práctico.
Pero si tienes ganas de aprender un idioma particular, por favor aprendes de todos modos si tienes un usó o no.
