I remember reading a scripture where the Lord said He confused us by separating our languages so that we could not understand each other, but it's still okay to learn to speak another language, yes? I feel like, because of this scripture, I will never have a full ability to understand another language. And I plan to major in Chinese :/

It doesn't tell us not to learn other languages. The apostle Paul could speak several languages. The sign on the cross of Jesus had writing in three languages.

I believe that God wants us to be instruments of his peace and in order to spread the message to the masses it is necessary to learn more than one language.
