Learning a language is a lifetime process. It takes a lot of patience and dedication. It's true that knowing about another language can make one understand their own language a bit better too. But learning during holiday season and that too in freezing temperatures (such as -18C or -15C) is in itself a tough task.
Here is my take on it: go take classes if offered and then practice it in your daily life else it is useless. I'm taking a course on "한국어 어휘.문법 or Vocabulary and Grammar" Korean. It is an interesting course yet demanding.
