Is it Good To Be Bilingual
What Is your opinion about Bilingual?
Bilingual is all about being able to learn and use another language than the one you know by default.
For example in Nigeria almost everyone is bilingual, they first speak their local dialect then the educated ones learn English in school while the illiterates learn pidgin English.
I opine that it is a good idea for someone to be bilingual as it has so many advantages.
If you're a parent Would you like your kids to learn more than a language, and if you're a kid would you like to learn another language apart from your mother tongue?
When I become a parent I would most likely want my children to learn one foreign language and one Nigerian language aside English and their mother tongue. This is because of the vast benefits and advantages it would give them in the future.
And a child I would be willing to learn a new language especially Yoruba and Spanish.
Which other language(s) will you like to learn?
I like the Yoruba people and their culture, understanding their language would help me understand and bond with them the more.
Spanish, they say is an easy language to learn. I would like to learn it too.
Advantages of Speaking More Than One Language:
- Being bilingual can enhance career opportunities, especially as most industries will want to employ someone that can relate with international clients. If you could speak French and English for example, your job opportunity is more vast than someone who speaks only English.
- Speaking another language develops a deeper understanding of the culture of the language thereby promoting tolerance and open-mindedness.
- Bilingual individuals often have heightened communication skills, including a better grasp of nuances in language and expression.
- Learning another language enhances adaptability, allowing the person to navigate the cultural environments of the new language with ease.
In conclusion, the advantages of being bilingual are very good, the benefit it will give to an individual is immense. It's like going for job interview and you have upto two degrees while others just have one. You have an edge over them.
