Widely accepted fact that children who are bilingual or mulitlingual have greater brain cognition. This has been demonstrated in many test groups with drastically better scores on Standardized tests in Elementary Grades through to College tests such as SAT and ACT.
I totally agree! I know I have lost a few jobs because I didn't know any other languages. After that happened I decided that I really needed to learn a new language, I ended taking French and Spanish. Spanish is really helpful but I love the French language, and it's not bad with the ladies!
