It's not a matter of not giving a shit. Maybe learning Spanish makes sense.

Not quite sure where your reply is going.
Anyway, I wish I had learned at least 3 other languages as a child. I don't like what the American education system left me with.
I'd have rather been learning Spanish, Russian, French, etc. than being taught every word of every branch of the military's "fight song" as a kid.
(and I can STILL remember every word over 45 years later...what a waste that was)
