Many. In the first place that makes you a cultured person, not an ignorant like so many people that say that they only need their own language and that everyone else must learn their language. Ignorant, arrogant people that believe that the world spins around them.
Second place, gives you access to information that otherwise would be difficult or maybe impossible to obtain.
Third place, you can communicate with more people than before you learnt the languages and they admire you for that. Otherwise they label you with a very negative characteristic

Look at Skinner's theories. VERY simplistically he says that if you cannot speak a language well, you will be unable to grasp any intelligent arguments. ERGO No mental development is possible without language ability.
