While this may be great for personal fulfilment, it can also prove extremely lucrative for your career opportunities.
Earlier this year, jobs search engine Adzuna analysed over 1 million live job postings on its website, it found out that some languages are more likely to get you a higher paid job than others in Britain, when employers advertised for jobs looking for someone who was at least bi-lingual.
Now, combining this with the fact that Britain voted to leave the European Union on June 23, and some are threatening to move abroad, having a second language may be essential to gaining a new job.
Meanwhile, Adzuna's cofounder pointed out that having a second language could become even more sought-after, especially if businesses look to relocate overseas.
"We've spoken out about how being based in a city with quick access to skilled foreign language speakers helped Adzuna expand - 22% of Londoners speak another main language. Our study shows we are not unique; countless other businesses are looking to grow quicker by hiring workers with additional languages," said Doug Monro, the cofounder of Adzuna.
"With nobody quite sure whether 'Brexit means Brexit' actually means an end to free movement, the business community will be looking to the UK government for assurances that access to skilled foreign language speakers will not be restricted."
Stripping out the English language, it was not just European languages that featured in the list. Mandarin, the most widely spoken language in the world, hit the rankings and so did Arabic.
