Language is such an interesting thing, it programs you in a way, e.g., if you speak English only, then you are most likely being trained to see the world in a certain way, but if you speak more than one language, then you have access to more information and see reality better.

If you understand more languages, the amount of books you have access to is amazing! Not everything is translated into english, and there are so many interesting novels that have never been translated.

Yes. Are you still in Turkey? The amount of arabic books that havent been translated that hold valuable information.... There will never be a chance to have all the books in the world translated, though.

Yes, Arabic is spoken in many countries. People from that area can speak more than one language, which is amazing.

Yes, the language you speak informs the thoughts you have. The more languages you have the more points of view you can think in. There are concepts in other languages that can be expressed in one word, where, in English it takes a whole sentence to say the same thing. An example: amairu.
