    多学一些语文，不管怎样，都有可能帮到你。

    I have always felt that people who master several languages hold an advantage firstly in work, and secondly mastering different languages would help you grow as a person.

    Having said that, I've never bothered to get my butt off the chair to pick up another language.

    When I was about 12 I read a quote by some philosopher person that went "To speak a second langauge is to have another soul".

    I never forgot it. On the other hand, for the next 30 years I never did anything about it.

    For the past few years though I've been learning spanish. I'm now not bad at it. If i could just manage to spen 3 - 6 months there, I think I would be able to speak it well and truly proper - - there's a point that it's hard to progress beyond studying it a few hours a week.

    Google tells me that Charlemagne was the author of the quote.
