What’s it like knowing 3 or more languages? Is it a waste of time or worth it?

It's worth it as long as it matters to you : )
t. knows 1 language

arabic has a poetic nature thats impossible to describe using other languages

english helped me read books that arent translated to arabic, as well as engaging in several communities, it was a gate for me

french is for me to shit on anglos and their culture by recognising how inferior their language is compared tot the french

it mess up with your brain a little when talking in one of the languages other than your mother tongue but other than that it is worth the long-term experiences you get from it

I speak Ukrainian and Russian fluently, and roughly know French. Sometimes I click on an untranslated war video and can let people know what's being said in the comments. And I can get the general gist of other slavic languages like Polish if I read carefully. Maybe saying I know French helps me on resumes.

But otherwise it's useless and you're not missing out on anything.
