Re: Bilingualism - Bringing Up Kids
Hmm, being trilingual myself (Dutch, English and German), I'd say there are many benefits to this. Not in the least being able to understand other people when they think you can't .
​
Other then that, my country being small and all, it's nice to be able to communicate with your neighbours and a significant part of the world in an economic sense of course.
​
I wouldn't know any disadvantage anyway. I'm hard pressed how knowing MORE is a bad thing.

I hunt for the truth
