Yes, I can say that I've taken language learning seriously, since I was in elementary the first language that I was taught was English. I'm a native Spanish speaker and in my country many people don't take language learning seriously and most of them don't actually care about learning other language, some people are interested in learning English of course because that's the universal language, but I think learning other languages is always good because it helps you understand other people that you were not able to connect to before.
