It's almost guaranteed that you will need it later in life. Unless you plan on living in a hole.

you never know when you will need them.

Most people lack foresight. How do you know what you're going to need in the future. So get back to studying for your geometry exam...

A lot of languages are related. Learning another language might help you understand your first language better.

This is one of the main reasons foreign languages are taught in public schools in the US.

There's a board near the foreign language classrooms in my school that lists many different reasons why learning another language is important. I can't remember them all right now, but some include it helps you in your travels, it makes you stand out from other job applicants, it makes you more intelligent, and it helps you communicate and relate to other people. Saying what OP said in this post is very ignorant. Not everyone speaks the same language as you, and language can be both a barrier and a uniter. Apprends une autre langue et parle avec tout le monde!
