Anyone learning a language for the purpose of immigration?

Moving to turkey in a few months Partner's job, family reasons, that type of thing.

Which means Turkish(TL) has gone from something I might pick up one day to what I now need to function.

Thing is, if i were learning a language for myself, it would'nt be Turkish. I'd probably be around Persian or Arabic because most of the literature and culture I care about is from those languages.

but now that I have to learn Turkish to talk to a doctor, sort out paperwork, and all those 'life' things, I'm noticing my motivation is weird.

Some days I'm motivated in survival pressure way, other days I resent it a little, because I'm spending all my study time on a language chosen for logistics.

Anyone else been here before? Did your feelings toward the language shift once you actually moved and were using it daily? or did it never go away?
