Being bilingual is good for the brain!

An interesting article found in The Connexion, a newspaper for English-speaking people who live in France:

Let's see what our English speaking guests think about that, next Tuesday!

  2. Speak two languages must be funny and interresting. But learn other language is so difficult.

  4. Learn a language is not so hard but you muss be in the country to do it right. You can really learn at school ...

    1. LearnING is difficult for us, it's easier and you are taught "naturally" I guess... But don't you mean that we CAN'T really learn at school?
      The best way for non-bilingual people would be to learn at school then spend as much time as possible in an English-speaking country or with English speaking people...
