It really depends on where the languages are from. I find learning languages from different worldviews helps me with judging other cultures less.

Someone on this thread said something about being able to consume content in other cultures. That's totally true. There's such a large delta between the knowledge base in each language that you get to cross pollinate ideas in your daily life.

There are some "feelings" and deep layers of nuance when speaking in one language that really can't be transferred to another unless you really immerse yourself in the media and literature.

Also to all my fellow multilingual people making sick puns that you laugh about to yourself inside, I see you.
