If you love art and calligraphy, Arabic is a beautiful language to read and write (just check out the calligraphy!).
Also, there are 22 Arabic-speaking countries that you could visit and use the Arabic that you learn! With so few Arabic speakers, there are scholarships that will pay for you to continue your study in the Middle East. So, if you ever wanted to travel to places like Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Dubai (in the United Arab Emirates) or thought about working (and having a leg up because you know the language) in any industry in business, engineering, medical, nonprofit and international relations, or a government career, give Arabic a try!
