Japanese- through a class in college?

I just finished learning all of the Hiragana pronunciations. Trying to figure out if I want to commit to learning the language or not.

We're required to take 3 semesters of language (has to be the same one). I fell behind somewhere last semester, and now I'm more in "get a good grade" mode than "learn it for life" mode.

The way sentences are structured is fascinating though, so I would recommend it for that. But learning it to speak it would probably be a huge time-sink.
