 At high school French Latin German - 55-60 years ago - Latin was useful in understanding English; French I can still somewhat understand but not speak, and at German I was quite advanced, but obviously have receded. Chinese I have now studied for over 20 years, but am only upper intermediate. Japanese Spanish and Russian are other languages I have dabbled in but never mastered.
I'll just have to persevere with the Chinese, to the point I can read the literature.

The Korean alphabet is excellent, modern, easy to learn read and speak ...
Japanese with two alphabets plus Kanji is a nightmare, so I gave it up.

 Some persons are certainly language oriented and others are not, I fall into the second category. I was never even interested in studying my first language, English.

I did try a Chinese language class but could not hear the four different sounds that distinguish various words.

So I am very impressed with those who can use more than one language, amazing to me.
