I've *just* started learning Spanish, it's a beautiful language. I'd love to learn Japanese or Itaian in the future too, they both sound lovely and I'm really interested in the cultures that speak these languages.

At first I got really tied up in learning a "useful" language, but now I'm learning to appreciate the language and cultures themselves, regardless of their utilitarian value, if that makes sense.

Learning a language is a big investment of my time, so I figure I should just focus on one that I enjoy and appreciate.
