Wow. I must be a genius then with my 7 languages.

I don't know, a lot of the time, things are just a whole big multi-lingual mess in my head. It does help to appreciate the many different cultures out there, though. When you speak their language, it's dificult not to identify with them in some way. I've always said that learning a language is not only about vocabulary, but also very often about learning a brand new culture and way of life.
