My best friend was incentivised this way by his parents to learn a foreign language. We're talking about 30 years ago. At the time, I thought it sounded utterly ridiculous. Nowadays, he works as a schoolteacher, teaching that very language to kids in public schools. He has a PhD in it now. So, it all turned out rather well.
