Beneficial in what way? What are your plans for the future? Where do you want to live? etc. pp.

Also, read books. For German, start with Nietzsche or Heine. Work through Jenseits von Gut und Böse until you can understand it all. German is really similar to English, so it shouldn't take more than a few months.
