yeah, a big part of the languages i know is usefulness.

telugu, apart from talking to family, was needed when i was out and about in my home state. hindi was needed when i was out and about outside my state. english was needed because i had to go through english-medium education in school and college. and korean was needed because a lot of the things i consumed in my leisure are in korean.

i don't think i'd have the motivation to learn a language if i didn't have it clear in my head how useful it was going to be to me, specifically to my circumstances.
