Speaking in Tongues

On Tuesday we watched a video called Speaking in Tongues. It was about immersion programs and mainly focuses on Spanish and Chinese. I was blown away by how well these children were able to speak a new language at such a young age. Being bilingual has many great benefits. These children that know another language are going to have a much easier time finding jobs, they will not be limited to jobs in the U.S. Being bilingual allows them to eliminate limitations that exists by being monolingual, it gives them more options for a better future. In the video it stated something along the lines of, learning another language at such a young age allows them to use and trigger parts of the brain that typically are not used at such a young age.
