After learning French on and off for almost 3 years, ramdam ko na talaga yung improvement ko. Ramdam kong tumaas ng ilang levels yung confidence ko na magsalita in French (yung confidence level lang yung tumaas, not my actual speaking skills). But accompanying this sense of pride is doubt. Napatanong ako sa sarili ko, and a few moments later, kay ChatGPT:

Ano bang point ng pagaaral ko ng French kung hindi ko naman sya ginagamit in real life?

Wala akong French-speaking person na kilala, hindi ko sya kelangan sa trabaho, hindi naman ako magta-travel sa France anytime soon. Ginagawa ko lang ‘to for mere pleasure and fun. I’m learning this language for the sake of learning this language. What is the point??

ChatGPT says:

  • Fun is actually a great reason to learn. If you enjoy the challenge, that’s reason enough.
  • You’ll never know when it might come in handy—travel, meeting new people, unexpected career opportunities.
  • Even if you never need it, you’re training your brain, developing patience, and gaining a new way to see the world, which is cool on its own.
  • Not everything needs a practical purpose (this!)

And with that, I shall continue on.
