yer that's what i used to think, why learn a language never used? But i figured, why care if it is used or not, if you know it, well then you know more than the person next to you. It's all about learning something new and doing something that is unorthodox; i.e. for me at least.

It'll also improve your understanding of English, and would help you learn other languages in the future, if you wanted.

Now I'm addicted. :P
EDIT: Donated 2000 grains of rice in less than half an hour... With GERMAN! I'm surprised at how similar it is to English, actually. :O

I did an introductory Latin course in my first semester of uni. No prior knowledge is assumed; they teach you the basics. It was a pretty awesome course, and you learn everything pretty quickly.

I wish I had done my VCE with all languages; but then I presume there would be restrictions. :(
