First,
bilingualism is the ability to speak two languages. In some countries people
are born bilingual. An example of bilingual country is Canada, here people
speak English and French. However in other places is important to learn another
language, for instance in Chile if you are bilingual you can get a better job.
When a
person knows two languages has the easy to communicate with others. Also,
exercising memory helps improve attentional skills.
Children can learn two languages easily.
Unlike, adults who have difficulty learning a second language because will be
difficult to learn different words and spelling rules. Experts say that hearing
two languages during pregnancy helps children to be bilingual.
In our
country there are few that use a language other than Spanish, because in many
schools do not teach English well. However, the country needs to create
professionals who manage the English language, therefore have created
innovative projects to grow the number of bilingual people. An example is the
program of the Mineduc "Inglés abre puertas".
