105 Week 9

This article did not really come as a shock to me. If you really think about it, it makes sense that bilinguals would be smarter than monolinguals in a variety of ways. Their brain gets more of a work out switching from one language to the next and having to remember in which context which language is spoken. I think thats why there is such an emphasis on learning more than one language. Yes, there is that whole concept of globalization and learning how to communicate with different people. But by having another language your brain will work a whole new area that one language does not reach. I wonder if the more languages you learn the more intelligent you are likely to be? Or if at a certain point it can hinder your intelligence?
