What are the benefits and effects of learning languages ?

Being a bilingual / multilingual person

What is bilingualism ?

Sequential bilingual

Simultaneous bilingual

  • 1 language after another
  • someone who uses 1 language at home then another in the community or at school
  • 2 languages since birth
  • exposed to 2 languages at home prior to age 3
  • develops 2 or more languages nearly equallly through exposure and frequent opportunities to use each language

THE DIFFERENT types of BILINGUALS

What is bilingualism ?

Bimodal bilingual

Receptive bilingual

Late bilingual

  • understands multiple languages
  • receiving more than 2 languages (reading, listening) vs producing multiple languages (speaking, writing)
  • learned a 2nd language during adulthood (after the age of puberty)
  • a type of sequential bilingual
  • signed and spoken languages
  • competences in 1 oral language and 1 signed language → 2 different modalities

Reasons to study new languages

What happens in the brain ?

→ more of these neurons and dendrites → denser gray matter

→ increased white matter integrity → boosts their brain's reserves

► novelty + practice = powerful brain exercice
