Q: What do you call someone who speaks 2 languages? A: Bilingual.
Q: What do you call someone who speaks 3 languages? A: Trilingual.
Q: What do you call someone who speaks one language? A: American.
Yes, learn another language. Get some insight into another culture. Don't be the typical ignorant, walled-in, myopic American.
If you live south of Oregon-Wyoming-Nebraska-Kentucky-Virginia, it should probably be Spanish.
Take it from me. I am a DBA by trade, who was born in the U.S. I am an Anglo, but I speak fluent Spanish, some German, and am learning Arabic at the moment.
There is also some evidence that activities such as language learning (no, computer languages don't count) helps prevent brain aging. So there you are.
