Sense of wonder from discovering how different people from different places think similarly or differently of the same experiences, or different experiences you never thought about.

I mean, I'm sure some percentage of people who learn a language do so for that reason. But the vast, vast majority of time someone learns another language it's going to be because they expect to use it, I imagine.
