Hi language Learners,
The follow up on reason why you should raise your kids as multilingual.
8) Your child will have more opportunities to make new friends.
Not only will your child be able to connect with others who speak different languages, but they will also be able to make friends during their language learning studies. There are hundreds of after school language programs in which kids can meet new friends, stimulate their minds, and, more importantly, have fun!
9)Sets your child up for future job success.
Today’s companies are seeking job candidates who know how to speak more than one language. In fact, research from Korn/Ferry International found that nearly 9 out of 10 headhunters in Europe, Latin America, and Asia say that being bilingual is important for success in today’s job market.
10) Your child will develop into a more well - rounded individual.
“If you have the chance to give your children the gift of an additional language, please do so – it is a gift that keeps giving for many years to come. It will enable your children to expand their horizons cognitively, socially, geographically and financially,” says Rita Rosenback of Multilingual Parenting.
11) Greatly increases your child's cognitive ability.
Research has found that bilingual children score higher than monolinguals in cognitive performance. In particular, children who speak multiple languages have more cognitive control and attention, according to research from Psychological Science in the Public Interest.
12) Helps to reduce dementia in life.
According to a study published by the American Academy of Neurology, bilingual adults developed dementia 4.5 years later than their monolingual counterparts. The study also claims that bilingualism benefits individuals with frontotemporal and vascular dementia.
13) Your child will become better at multi tasking.
Research from the National Institutes of Health found that bilingual children are better at switching between tasks than children who only speak one language. This is because bilinguals have to constantly switch back and forth between languages, helping them become better multi taskers.
14) Helps to improve your child's memory.
Your child’s brain is like a big muscle; the more it functions the stronger it gets. Learning a second language exercises your child’s brain, as he or she must memorize new vocabulary words and grammar rules. In turn, your child is able to boost over all memory and retention.
15) Boost Your child's tolerance of the world.
Bilingualism doesn’t just have academic benefits, but it also has societal advantages. Bilingual children have a greater understanding of other cultures and communities, causing them to be more tolerant a characteristic that is very difficult to instill in a child.
16) Your child will get a head start in school.
Typically, children do not start learning a language until around middle or high school. Teaching your child a foreign language early in life will better prepare them for school not to mention give them a competitive advantage when applying to colleges.
