Same here. Fluent in 4 languages. For me the best advantage is not learning just the language, but the whole culture. If you can't laugh to comedy standup stars and understand the culture of other people, it really doesn't help much if you are fluent in one language or more. Languages also promote a more liberal worldview and more tolerance for others.

I agree with you - the moment you learn another language, you step outside the borders of your own culture, metaphysically, and are able to see things from a different perspective than what is normal. That's the value - and the liability - of language, in my opinion.

The world would be a better place if we all spoke more than just our mother-tongues ..
