While many of us are pursuing credits or degrees, most of us also like to learn just for the fun of it. So... here's the BBC site. Scroll down, and you'll see tabs for learning a few languages. Pretty neat. I thought that I'd give Spanish a go.
BBC - Homepage Have fun, and don't forget to do the exercises.

Living in Europe and Asia, it was amazing to see how many people speak 2 or more languages. We Americans are are so stubborn with speaking English only.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Well, I think learning another language is a very enriching thing, but the majority of people learning a language don't do it for pleasure, it's out of necessity. Either the environment they're in requires it, or they'll get some kind of benefit for doing it. English is way too international, you can essentially survive with English in any corner of the globe (in fact you can go to any corner of the globe to teach it, like myself). So we're a bit spoiled in that respect, and we're lazy, not too motivated to learn another language. Not justifying it, but it's unavoidable.
