MULTILINGUALISM
Of all the isms, the ones I proudly embrace are being able to speak a couple of languages and multiculturalism.
The two primary theories of multiculturalism integrated into a single society are commonly used to describe them as the “melting pot” and the “salad bowl”.
Studying hundreds of older patients, researchers in Germany found that those who reported using a couple of languages daily from a young age scored higher on tests of learning, memory, language, and self-control than patients who spoke only one language.
