Why not learn Italian instead, at least there are tons of people you can talk to, newspapers you can buy.. unlike French and German which are rarely heard here.

I wholeheartedly support the idea of learning Italian, but French and German are definitively more useful.

That's pretty much how I see it. I learned English in school, and used it extensively in university, but it was always "academic" English: pretty stiff and inexpressive.
This place is the reason my written English sounds pretty natural. If only I could translate this proficiency into spoken English!
