Bilingual or multi lingual is always an advantage and I have listed few on them below:

  1. You can understand and appreciate cultural references and nuances
  2. Bilingualism can create job opportunities and help you navigate the world.
  3. You notice and appreciate the things that are sometimes lost in translation.
  4. You feel a sense of connection with your heritage, history and family
  5. Your interactions with people of different cultures go deeper
  6. And lastly, your self-expression excitingly takes on a multitude of forms.

It does in an era of globalisation and international clients and expansions.

I can speak Russian and English therefore, can pull double duty as a translator alongside my official position within the company I used to work for.

of course, this is based on the organization work nature that you belong to, otherwise, acquiring more languages means something precious to a person.

In today's global economy, the ability to communicate is key, and as more companies expand internationally, the ability to communicate in another language has become a significant advantage in the workforce. Research from RosettaStone found that people who speak at least one foreign language have an average annual household income that's $10,000 higher than the household income of those who only speak English. And about 17 percent of those who speak at least one foreign language earn more than $100,000 a year.

A recent survey from Los Angeles-based recruiter Korn/Ferry International found that nearly 9 out of 10 headhunters in Europe, Latin America, and Asia say that being at least bilingual is critical for success in today's business environment. And 66 percent of North American recruiters agreed that being bilingual will be increasingly important in the next 10 years.

Absolutely, because about 70% of work depends on communication and that you know 2 or 3 languages is a huge advantage.
