  1. Well, I like a lot this article about Bilingualism. As we have seen in this semester, I think that the advantages of learining a new language will have many positive consequences in kids´ development. The best part of being bilingual is that the brain changes at puberty, plus it is easier to learn more languages. Another interesting issue is that knowing a second language actually benefits child´s cognitive development. And this point is really interesting kowing how a language could make this process. What I mean is that sometimes we don´t trust ourselves and we might not speak English to our students at all times, so this means that we don´t trust our programs. But, as we see in the research English is a key to develop minds as specially children´s.

  2. In this reading we can catch other advantages on learning other languages. How easy it becomes to learn it as an early child. We can see in education, the importance of schools to have this second language that is English. Is a tool that almost all schools are offering and that we have to explode. We can see that nearly everybody is bilingual, and that child’s DOESNT have to be exceptional or have any special language ability to become bilingual. So we invite you to try to learn at least a second language, no matter the age.
