Also, yes, I think learning a foreign language would be good for the mind and for cultural boundaries.

I speak French. My mother's family is French Canadian, and she grew up speaking it ... and taught it to me at a young age. Of course, the dialect I speak is different from Parisian French that they teach in schools (but I took those French classes also.)
My wife speaks fluent French and German. You should really give German a shot, it is easier to learn than other foreign languages because it is semantically simpler than English. But I don't know how beautiful it sounds ... it always sounds to me as if they're constantly trying to dislodge something from their throats.
