so i only know two languages and an english accent
hmm i know and speak our native language and i can also speak in english and speak with a british accent, but that's all i know about languages.
I heard many people who knows many languages and they are kind of awesome and cool. But i also heard people that as long as you learn the 'universal language' which is english then you are good to go.
so should i learn other languages too? German, Mandarin, French, or there are just some languages that are one of the 'must be learned how to speak'.

It's quite easy to learn many languages over the Internet but many of them just teaching the reading/spelling and grammar aspects.
Where I live in the US, all high school students are required to take either at least one year of Art or one year of foreign language. Learning them is very important here in my little town as well... Many people here speak different Spanish dialects as well as French and Ewe.

Here in our country we only care about English and Tagalog (the most known and used dialect by Filipinos) and that's that, in school we are only taught either Filipino or English language, though we have a lot of dialects here, only those who live in provinces know them, those who were born and raised on Urban places only know how to speak in Tagalog and English, but still i can say that our tongue is much better :P

yes you can find lots of tutorials over the internet. Like me I am learning Korean Languange, I even got a tutorial manual (written in pdf file) applicable for newbie like me and I got it for only $1. The good thing about the manual, there is no need for me to visit always the site to study because I have handed out a copy wherein I can access it in my local computer or you can even put it in your mobile device like iphone.

Yup it gives you more opportunities, I think European languages from first world countries will be a must, I mean an opportunity to work in a rich European country is a good opportunity.Mandarin is also an essential because China is an upcoming super power and if you will start a business, Chinese business partners will be an essential. The easiest language next to English though is Spanish. Spain seemed to have a good economy but maybe you should try an scandinavian language instead. Norway and Sweden have good economies and low population, lots of opportunities there.
