      I want to move to Germany in the future when I’m financially stable, and it could just be me being a pessimist, but I don’t know if I can see that happening. I’ll probably continue to study German out of the sunk cost fallacy because it’s already way better than my Spanish.

        I studied German for several years, and it was ironically useful when I was in Guatemala - another traveler sometimes needed help bridging the gap with her spotty English and I was able to help. Though, Spanish would have been much more useful in that country, learning languages can be really useful in unexpected moments.
