Many people many approach learning another langauge as enjoyable rather than just useful. I can easily imagine taking a foreign language in the evening as a way to get a little intellectual activity in life. Its also just nice to get out of the house a few evenings a week and do something different and meet people. It does seem to me though that more women will take evening classes for personal enjoyment than men. It was pointed out to me when I said something like this before that women have more free time than men. I don't believe this . Many women have children to take care of, and yes can have jobs as demanding as men, and yet they find the time. I personnally like to take classes when I'm busy as a way to relax and give the brain something different to think about. Ellen
