Best Motivations in second and foreign language learning or how to boost it

[Jean-Luc]

I am trying to complete a list of all possible motivations to boost foreign language learning. Any ideas?

An EU publication https://publications.europa.eu/en/publi ... 87b795fe80

I simply like to listen to music in my target language I enjoy. Still don’t know how much listening to music in my target language helps me learn a language, but it does seem to help with motivation.

Here are some more:

-Impress girls (and/or boys) you've just met.
-Lose your foreigner/immigrant status.
-Others won't understand you if it's a language practically nobody else speaks in your area.
-You can learn more about your own language and other languages you might plan to learn in the future.
-Becoming better at language learning because the more languages you know, the easier it gets to learn another.
-Regard the culture the language belongs to as your own.
-Being able to pronounce sounds nobody else can.

Great ideas! Thanks.
