The Importance of Bilingualism for Children

Prevent Dementia.

Recent research suggests that bilingualism maintained for life may delay the onset of dementia. Bilingualism may protect against this neurodegenerative disease. Conversely, those who learned a second language as adults did not get similar benefits.

Preparing children for the future.

In a globalized world, bilingualism and better yet, multi-lingual skills have great benefits. International companies prefer those who can speak multiple languages, and multilingual employees more often benefit.

As the world becomes more connected, there is an increasing number of jobs demanding bilingualism, making the world of work even more competitive. Children educated with two or more languages can not only communicate with their peers well but can improve brain health and enrich experiences.

Therefore, start communicating more than one language to children, so that children are ready to face the world when they are older with a lot of language competition.
