011: I'm 17. Should I bother learning a language?

Today's episode features a question from Ben: "I'm 17. Should I bother learning a language, when technology can already do so much for us?"

In this episode:
  • Technology is advancing quickly
  • We're getting to the stage where technology can translate for us
  • Is it still worth learning a language in 2015 with all this technology?
Do you have a question?
