I love them! I live in American where it's the most uncommon to speak more than one language. Once I started learning Spanish I found that I saw the world in a slightly different way. Along with a different culture, different people. I felt better connected with the world. As I continued learning languages I discovered my eyes were open to so much more of the world. Sign language was my next language, and I discovered that I could sympathize and understand how deaf people felt. There's an essence when you speak a certain language that you can't quite describe, but it's addicting. :)
