The same reason all Englishmen should know multiple languages.

To order a couple of beers. 8)

Well, for the best beer, you only need to know two words in Czech.

And one of them is the same as its English analog.

I haven't been able to get on lately, not really unable to, just preoccupied with other stuff ( if you really want to know PM me). But yeah, school sucks, and that's just the start of it.
Just trying to throw us back on topic.

Of course Shran, a gracious offer :D I have your msn anyway, feel free to go for it :D

Some languages i want to learn for practicality. French or German, cause i would like to work their one day possibly, or because i know a few german and french speakers so i can have private conversation with them in public. Others, because i have a genuine interest in languages. I pick up things pretty easy, i can remember little phrases and words in a pretty decent number of languages.

Well, there is always my off time and weekends to play catch up :twisted:

But seriously, I'm a little apprehensive about moving into the "unknown". On one hand I CAN see it's a better oppertunity, and that department is growing quickly, but on the other, I've got two AWESOME supervisors right now, and I'm very good at what I do. Ah well, no guts no glory.

Go for it man. IMHO. In this economy, if you're not moving up you're moving down.

Don't second guess yourself. If you want more money (who doesn't?), go for it.

What's the job, again?
