Nowadays, people live in a globalization society. People were forced to study foreign languages, like English, in the school day prominently English. People used foreign language skills when they go to travel or they get a job. I agree that there are some other reasons to study a foreign language partly; however, I think the main reason for studying a foreign language is to use the language in our daily lives, including traveling and working in a foreign country. I will mention the specific details below.
First of all, I think language is the means for living. Without practical using in our daily life, people usually forget that easily. There are few people who study other languages for fun or only with pure academic intention. However, it is not a general case. It could be for some people who are ambitious to learn several languages. People usually admire the people who can speak several languages because learning a new language takes a lot of time and efforts.
By that reason, learning a language could be inefficient activity
In my case, I have studied English since I was ten years old. Also, I had an experience that I stayed in London to study English for about four months. However, even with that efforts, it was very hard to maintain my English skills, which I have gotten so far without practical using. Though it does not mean that people do not have to learn a foreign language, I strongly recommend that setting a practical goal to learn a new language before starting must be more efficient and can be encouraged.

To sum up, learning a new language with any reason is a very good activity. Also, finding a field to use it could be a better step to keep our new skills. (작성한 본문과 크게 관련이 없는 내용입니다.)
