Thank you so much for the video, I'm in the plateau of choice between several languages, really don't have any personal reasons to learn one just to boost my career as a future translator( have a dream of working in international organisations). Now I speak Russian and Armenian and near to fluency in English. Can't really choose between French, Spanish and German. 😅

For me languages are tools so the motivating factors are to do with what I can do with each language. Who can I talk with? What can I read? What audience can I write for? While some people can learn languages for their own sake I speculate most people need some practical application. As you say, for some people being able to make money will be such a practical application. Your point about contacting a native or heritage speaker ties into being interested in the culture. If you have no interest in the culture, media, history and people then you won't spend much time immersing yourself in that language. Great video!
I am from Germany. Learning French for years. 😊 With many interruptions, unfortunately. But I like it. ❤ I speak German, Russian and English 😊.
