Multilingual people, do you feel better about yourself than those that only speak one language? Monolingual people, do you envy/admire Multilingual people? And why? (sh.itjust.works)

Yes, I wish I was multilingual but I’m monolingual. It’s amazing to be able to speak multiple languages and it opens up opportunities.

I’m a middle aged white male. Learning languages is difficult for me at my age because of time and effort needed. I would love to learn Spanish and Arabic though. Or perhaps Mandarin.

    It's always difficult to learn a new language, we just forgot the hell it was to go through, often for years, only to become not even mediocre.

    It takes time and effort and if you want to, you can do it!
