Advantages to knowing the language of the country you are in:
--discounts on things at the market: you must careful when doing this while speaking to the vendor. I did this once when I was working here two years ago. The man thought I was Florentine and gave me almost a 50 percent discount. Instead of paying 42 euros I paid 25.
--hearing what people are saying about you or others
--proving a stereotype wrong
--being able to communicate
--being able to understand people
--making friends
--learning the system
--learning how to dress so you don't stick out
