We are surrounded by different languages every day, at work, in media, in stores, over the phone. We live in a multicultural times and everywhere in the world, more then half of people, speak at least two languages. While some people make fun of someone else’s accent, they should know the benefits of having a bilingual brain.
“Bilinguals perform these tasks much better than monolinguals – they are faster and more accurate and that suggests their executive systems are different from monolinguals.” says Athanasopoulos – professor of psycholinguistics and bilingual cognition at Lancaster University.
