I'm learning French primarily to read Proust. I'll let you know if it's worth it once I progress a little more.

I learnt english to be able to play simcity 2000

That said, shitposting has improved my writing abilities considerably, to the point where even native english speakers praise my writing occasionally

I'm learning languages to sing opera. That's close.

Yes people having been doing that for centuries with latin.
>Is it worth it?
In a financial sense? not at all.
>Does it improve your native language writing skills?
You will improve if you translate into your language however I couldn't see why writing/sketching original works wouldn't be equally as helpful, perhaps more efficient even.
