This sounds like the one worthwhile course in the bunch. One may learn
a foreign language in order to be able to read important literary,
historical, philosophical, or scientific works in other languages, in
which case Latin, Greek, German, and French are good languages; in order
to be able to communicate well with a wider group of people, in which
case Spanish is a good language for Americans to learn; or just to
broaden one's horizons, in which case I am told that Swahili is a good
choice, as it is structurally so different from Indo-European languages.
