I see that studying foreign languages is different in every country. It is good to know some - as one saying says: "As many languages you know, as many times you are a human being." I live in a small country and my language isn't wide spread, so for us in here it is important to know and speak a foreign language - it helps you to get into college, find a job or when you travel abroad. I think, it's easier for you, as almost everyone on this planet studies English. :D So you can comunicate with foreigners in your birth language. We have to speak with them in English, so it isn't that simple for us.

And yes, my country is surrounded by other small countries. Their languages are Slavic, so they are very similar to my language. It isn't a long time since we and Czechs made up one country, so we all understand them. Our TV channels often broadcast Czech movies and we can watch their own TV channels... I live about 50 miles from the Polish border and their language influenced our dialect, so I do understand it as well.
