Speaking two languages has obvious practical benefits in an increasingly globalized world. What are these benefits? What are the main advantages and disadvantages of being bilingual?
The main advantages of being bilingual are increased mental flexibility, a greater ability to communicate, increase in metallinguistic awareness and a superiority in the development of cognitive functions related to attention and inhibition; this and among other things are the positive aspects.
On the other hand, some of the disadvantages of bilingualism are an apparent delay in language acquisition; interference between the two phonological, lexical, and grammatical systems; and a possible decrease in vocabulary in both languages.
In conclusion, although there are god and bad things, I think that is better be bilingual because at present is a advantage for job, for the communication whit the other people and because it helps to facilitate the learning of other languages.
