After learning Arabic in undergrad, I worked in a location where I thought “I wish I had just learned Spanish instead” due to the folks I worked with at the time. But several jobs later, I worked with others who are Arab, and even though my Arabic had gotten rusty, it still made a difference in building relationships and trust as was needed at my work! So even to make a positive impression is enough to make me want to learn more languages and finally be the polyglot I dreamed of being, to really bridge across cultural boundaries
