Linguistics is the study of languages. It does not require an ability to speak, read, or understand another language, but is a "Higher Course". I know a number of linguists who specialize in dead languages. if you desire to become polyglot ( able to speak, read, and understand other languages), the US Military and the Department of State have career tracks for that. Here's the killer: They want either really high math aptitudes or really great musical ability. Math gives you pattern recognition, music gives you the ear.
If you really want ot learn a foreign language, find folks who speak it, and read their comic books. No kidding.
(In my family we speak English, Portugese, Italian, French, Castillian (that's a separate language nowadays), bad Romish, bad Polish, Basque, Russian, German, and probably more I can't remember)
Being a Linguist is not the same as being Polyglot.
