"The Benefits of a Bilingual Brain" - Mia Nacamulli

 



“It’s obvious that knowing more than one language can make certain things easier — like traveling or watching movies without subtitles. But are there other advantages to having a bilingual (or multilingual) brain? Mia Nacamulli. “

    The majority of the world's population is bilingual or multilingual, which means they speak two or more languages. Language ability is usually measured in four areas: reading, writing, understanding and comprehension. Bilingual individuals do not always have equal proficiency in both languages.

    Bilingual people can be classified into three types based on their language learning situations and styles. Some develop two languages simultaneously, some use two languages with different perspectives, and some learn a second language through their mother tongue. The brain of a bilingual may look and function differently to that of a person with only one language. Recent research shows that language requires both brain functions, and that specialization of brain functions develops with age.

    The critical period hypothesis states that children learn more easily as their brains become more elastic. This explains why learning a language as a child provides a deeper understanding of social and emotional contexts. The cognitive benefits of bilingualism include problem-solving, task completion and concentration. Learning another language in everyday life has many benefits for our bodies, including making them healthier, more complex and active.

    When multilingual individuals use a second language, there is increased activity in certain parts of the brain involved in language processing. This suggests that the multilingual brain works harder and more efficiently in managing and using a second language. In addition, trained bilingual individuals have a lower chance of developing diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia.
