Being a bilingual person not only gives you the opportunity to travel to other countries and communicate with people, but allows you to understand their culture, their customs and racial characteristics with breadth of thinking.
Bilingualism develops the ability to see things from different perspectives and possibilities. People tend to be more willing to explore and interact with diverse cultures despite the differences.
To this extent, we could say that bilingualism fosters peace and global understanding through respect for differences.
The Journal of Neuroscience reveals that brains of people who speak two or more languages have a high capacity to perceive and control the environment and to adapt to change and new circumstances. Minds of these people develop the ability of high concentration and solve problems with creativity, seeing things from a different perspective and contemplating various possibilities and solutions.
Additionally, speaking a new language helps the brain stay healthy as it ages, as it forces cognitive muscles to be strengthened through concentration and memorization of new information.
