I have a nice little list of benefits that you could enjoy and that a few here are already enjoying, whether we know it or not. Let's start with something a little more obvious. Psychological studies have shown that knowing more languages ​​is a great asset. The benefits are usually only noticeable among those who speak other languages ​​more frequently. Naturally, young children can learn languages ​​faster than older people like us, which is one of the reasons why some of you have probably given up on Spanish. The good news is that we can still achieve the same level of mastery just with a thicker accent. Speaking a foreign language also improves your brain power and problem-solving skills, helping you score better on standardized tests. For those who like to be on the phone during class, you can also improve your multitasking skills, so consider that. For you health nerds… haha, just playing. Bilingualism can help you delay Alzheimer's and dementia, monolinguals average 71.4 to 75.5 bilinguals (telegraph.Co.UK). I probably should have said this first, but being bilingual greatly improves memory, which makes sense since it holds people back with Alzheimer's. Another big advantage we teenagers need: better decision-making. For those who are traveling or wish to travel outside of the United States, knowing the language of where you want to go could significantly improve your stay. Not everyone might like to admit it
