You Should Learn a Foreign Language
You would like to turn your world upside down a little, and there's no better way to do that than immersing yourself in a foreign culture.
Learning a new language would broaden your perspective and give you an inside look at another area of the world.

Getting to know a new language would challenge your brain as well as your expectations about another culture.
Your opportunities in life would also be expanded. Imagine where you could travel once you had another language under your belt!

I learned German a while back.

Actually, I believe that to be a well-rounded person, you should speak a second language, play a sport, engage in an academic pursuit for its own sake, and play a musical instrument.

For me it’s:

German

Basketball/floor hockey

History (particularly World War 2)

And the iPod.
