Multilingual professionals can communicate with a larger population, increase an employer’s competitive edge and contribute to diversity in a workplace. 

Additionally, studying a language and its culture can help you develop empathy and global thinking. It can broaden your perspective and help you cultivate a greater understanding of people and, in turn, the world.
