Bilingual

Being bilingual can bring us better opportunities to find better jobs. Speaking more than one language can make easier to communicate with people. Nowadays, companies find more valuable the employees who speak more than one language. It can help to the company to work better, for example if the company has business in other countries a bilingual employee can be very useful. Even bilingual workers earn more money than monolingual. The New York Times recently reported how much money earns monolingual and bilingual employees. People who speak only Spanish earn $3000 per month; people who speak only English earn $5000, and people who speak both earn $7000 per month. With this example we can see also how being bilingual can help us to have better future and help us to survive in this economical crises.

There are number advantages that bilingual children have over monolingual children. Learning a second language can help them in education development. At young age they have opportunity to learn a second language which will help them in the later education. Recently, I read on Web site how the bilingual children are smarter than monolingual (www.multilingualchildren.org). They show better results in mathematics and science. Children who are bilingual also have an increased capacity for learning languages as adults. However, in my opinion they will have better chance to enroll in one of the best colleges.
