Yes, but like Edison said, "...people who know more than one language really don't seem to be paid for it in the workplace UNLESS they got hired specifically for that reason." So why learn it if it doesn't benefit you money wise?
I took Spanish in high school because even at that time I could see it would be spoken by more than half of the country in the near future. I also thought it would help me advance professionally. I slacked off in college and am embarrassed by how well I speak Spanish now. I can hold a simple conversation and my vocabulary has always been excellent but as soon as someone starts talking fast forget it.
No one cares if you speak another language unless they want to pimp you out for the business world and then you have to speak it like a native. I've known plenty people who are ESL and they don't have to speak English like a native to get a job. I know English is the hardest language to learn but it kind of seems one sided. What gives? This leads me to my next question...

Knowing more then one language can be useful.For example, if you plan to travel to a country where you might know the language such as France or Mexico.It can also help you get a job, and It will help you meet more people.

There is over 4000 spoken languages world wide in these days. Least foremost? do you imply it in the best way of whole speaker or what? If whole speaker then ....... over 3950 is recollect vain when you consider that most effective few spoke it. Russian is tough? cmon guy, if in case you have revel in in different languages then it now not tough. Just like perodic desk for chemisty or research in your scan that you simply gotta memorize. I recollect English as Hard Spanish Super Easy Japanese Easy Russian Middle

Well if you want to make more money then yes. No matter what job you do...It could be flipping burgers. You will be paid more if you bilingual. Children who know more than one language test better. So learn another its a very nice skill to have.

I noticed that people who know more than one language (can talk to more people) really don't seem to be paid for it in the workplace UNLESS they got hired specifically for that reason. I say no, and I can only say that in English.

Why not? With all of the different cultures in the US now wouldn't you like to communicate to some of them, or at the very least know if they're talking s*it about you.
