I think this is what's meant, that you are listing the reasons you choose to learn *any* new language, not a specific language.
Could also say "When I choose to learn a new language, it's because..."
I learned English when I was young because the electricvideo games are all in English, and not Portuguese.
(Now there are Portuguese games, but there weren't twenty years ago)
You've dropped the subject here as if it can be seen from the previous clause. But the subject there is different, it was just "video games". A reader may infer that you mean "Now there are video games".
This works: "Because there aren't any Portuguese video games. Now there are [Portuguese video games], but there weren't twenty years ago."
Or "Because video games are all in English, and not Portuguese. Now some [video games] are [in Portuguese], but they weren't twenty years ago."
The words [in brackets] are what you can drop there.
Five years ago, I studied French because I wanted to go to Paris.
I used to go there and love it, and I want to go back there one day.
Now I see these beautiful Chinese cities in pictures and I want to go to Beijing and Shanghai, so I need to know some Chinese.
