Research in Neuroscience finds ways being bilingual can be an advantage. Somewhere around 20% of the US population is bilingual and that number is steadily increasing. Besides being able to speak more than one language, years of research has indicated that bilingualism has a number of other advantages, from understanding and appreciating cultural references, to opening up new job opportunities, and even being able to express yourself in a number of different forms or personalities. Language and thought are so closely intertwined, it raises the question of how the brains of monolingual speakers and bilingual speakers are different. Today, I speak with Daniel Bordi about the advantages of bilingualism.
