Learning another language, a waste of time?

[Twiki]

1. Watch movies, videos, etc in your target language.

Absolutely, this is how many people learn American, for example by watching game shows like Wheel of Fortune.

Learning another language is definitely not a waste of time. If you're concerned about aging (I note OP's signature), then it's even more worthwhile, as it may counteract effects of aging in terms of slowing down mental deterioration.
