How has learning a language as an adult helped you to learn about a culture / gain new perspective?

I personally feel like I understand German-speaking people better the more I study the language.
E.g. my experience was that they are generally good listeners because their language has a sentence structure which forces the listener to wait for the most important information at the end of a sentence.
Bad Denglish to demonstrate:
"I have yesterday night... at the football field.... together with friends ... (dude get to the point) had a beer"
Be a proud weeb! That is incredibly cool and a useful skill you should be proud of.
Keep on weebin!

Oh this made me think of another one: years ago I worked with kids and teens. sometimes they would fuck with my phone when I wasn’t paying attention to go on youtube but I would leave the keyboard on the kana flick keyboard which would stump them
Ha! Smart! I once accidentally changed my phone language to arabic and was completely lost with the settings trying to figure out where are the language settings.
