Okay consider the dialects, if it's not a major language. How many? I can speak English, Tagalog, Chinese (Fookien-a chinese dialect) and Mandarin. Well I hope to learn Korean or French.

Yeah I think it is a plus factor to be multilingual. But still there's still a lot of people that can speak more than 4 languages. Super linguists! ahaha

it is good to be multilingual , There is one time where there are two people speaking in Indonesia language which is similar to "malay". They didn't know that I actually understand what they are saying. I watch allot of korean series and anime too and I do pickup a few phase from time to time. Korean language is complicated and I don't really like the sound of it. Japanese sound better and much more polite.

Speaking different language is always a very good thing to do and I feel people should learn at least three or four languages including one foreign language because it helps them and they go abroad. Talking about the language as I know the definitely English hindi and bengali

I only speak english but can get by with a little bit of spanish that I know. Even though I took two years of spanish class WAY back in school I only picked up a little of it.
