FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
I can talk to anyone, I can choose what language I want to enjoy reading the next book, no more subtitles, I see the world through my own perspective and no more gossip magazines about the artists I like, I don't need to go to expensive places just because the cheap ones don't speak Portuguese etc.
I wish I could speak all the languages in the world...
Nowadays, being multilingual is something very very important! For example in my country (Spain) you must speak English for many jobs!
The last year I traveled to Stockholm and I realised that everybody there speaks English really good! But in Spain... there is a lot of people that doesn't like learning English! I don't understand it because it's very cool!
The best about being multilingual is that you can speak with people all over the world, learn their traditions, talk about their lifes... And making new friends that maybe you can visit someday!
Very good question, Ari.
I think it offers you an unique ability to understand two different(or more) cultures, giving you exposure to fresh ideas from people with different cultural backgrounds.
The fact that it allows you to step outside your immediate social circle is very powerful.
