Benefits of Multilingualism
Author: Jiachen Mo
Published: 3/25/2019 1:09:45 PM
There are about 7,000 different languages spoken around the world. These languages are more than
just a form of communication but instead represent different cultures, traditions, and identities. They are
an inseparable aspect of people's lives. Especially in today's society, bilingualism or even multilingualism
is very common due to close proximity to other countries with different languages and an increased
desire to acquire such skills. Below are some advantages of being multilingual:
Global Awareness: People who know other languages often familiarize themselves with those cultures as
well. They appreciate cultural differences and are more open to new approaches and traditions. This
diverse mindset reduces biases and encourages more traveling in the future. Cognitive Benefits: Studies
have shown that there are many cognitive benefits of being multilingual. Multilingualism can delay the
symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease by an average of five years.
In addition, constantly switching between languages results in a more efficient, developed executive
control system. As a result, they tend to be better at multitasking and have longer attention spans.
