What are the perks of even knowing a second language if you already know the dominate (or official) language of the nation you live in?

I already know a second language because I didn't live in the US my whole life (I know we don't have an official language but English is the most widely spoken language here so). I can only see the need to know multiple languages if you want to travel or you want to be a translator.

So you can randomly drop foreign words in conversations and act all smug about it tu sais? 😁

@RadiantRuby: I hate the Spanish language. How about that?

@MorbidCynic: well that's your opinion! So keep it!

@RadiantRuby: Of course I'll keep it, I'm surely not changing it any time soon. :')

I have traveled a lot. I try to learn the language of the country I am living in at the time.

It gets you a job easier because you can speak to and assist foreign customers who are not good at english.

@goagainsttheflow: I never get polish customers at work but I got a job easy ._.

@MorbidCynic: yaaay! :3 For me, we get a lot of south American and eastern foreigners so it's very beneficial when an employee is bilingual.

I have another answer! You can also tell when people are gossiping about you and insulting you in their language. It's always funny when you call them out on it and they act like you're crazy xD
