Are there still benefits of knowing multiple languages?

English is widely spoken language in our global business world. Mastering few languages used to be a real asset in the past, but today we live in a global village where language is no longer a barrier. More and more global companies have physical presence in given countries, so language is not a challenge.

I do speak a few languages in a very good level, and others in working proficiency level. Got it from my family and as a student. It is a real pleasure. I do believe that by mastering (or even trying to learn) few other languages one shows some respect to other cultures. It also serves as a great international bridge for communication.

The question is: is it still relevant these days...?
