knowing only one language can be boring

don't you think that you can easily get bored knowing only one language?

i mean saying different things in different ways can change some one's life. knowing more than one language could be great for people.
i don't know how it feels speaking only one, i've been speaking two languages all my life.

knowing other languages is like being in a different worlds that how it feels like i would assume. i guess you can understand other too, for example asian people sometimes is hard to understand them.

WELL THATS VERY TRUE, I HEARD ALSO THAT PEOPLE ARE MORE CREATIVE WHEN THEY KNOW MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE, SO ITS A GOOD THING.
SERIOUSLY SOME PEOPLE WASTE THEIR TIME IN SCHOOL AND THEIR LIFE, ISTEAD OF LEARNING MORE LANGUAGES AS YOUNGSTERS, THEY GOOD ON BAD HABITS AND WHEN THEY ARE 30 THEN THEY WANT TO LEARN OTHER LANGUAGE THEN IT BECOMES DIFFICULT.
SO MY RECOMMENDATION IF YOUR PLANING TO LEARN A SECOND LANGUAGE DO IT YOUNG, DON'T WAIT BECAUSE IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO BUILT SYNAPSES IN YOUR BRAIN.

Knowing more than one language is very empowering. It makes other people jealous.

thats true and your there is a say

"if you speak two languages you're worth two"

meaning you are equvalent to two people

I love knowing more than one language. But I'll bet there are plenty of people who are completely satisfied knowing only own language.

knowing one language makes it hard to learn another language later on
if you do the calculations every one in the world pretty much speaks one language, so speaking two can make you special
for example when i went back home to colombia everyone wanted to be with me, you become popular even in school.

>>I have known many Americans and Canadians who have known only the English language for all practical purposes (maybe a smattering of Spanish, French, German, Latin or Japanese martial arts words along with it) and don't seem to be bored at all<<

I know many such people and they are not americans/canadians/english speakers, they just live in small towns, and they have their little life, they arent intrested about the world/cultures/etc., and they feel just good. There are many such people everywhere, in each country.

Well Americans speak only one language because the nastalgia has not yet overcome them, as it has with me. That is why I speak flawless Chinese.

This is a completely unrelated question, but is it fashionable to write 'nastalgia' [sic] at the moment?

Yes, I am fully aware of the meaning and the correct spelling. It's just that I've seen that word used rather a lot on this forum recently, spelt incorrectly as 'nastalgia' in most cases, and had wondered whether such usage might have some other connotation to which I was oblivious.

Benjamin, it is obviously the same troll misusing and misspelling the word over and over again. The trolls command of English and/or spelling is obviously incomplete.
