Hey guys ! Again here talking about linguistics, and really wanted to make a share about multilingual people, and found this short video about how the brain of bilingual people works. It is really didactic and it made me think a lot about how the period of your life when you learn the language can change completely the way you absorb it. As infants and children, our brain can comports and dissociate languages more easily and, with the proper study and support, they can carry that information through their whole life. In the case of adults learning idioms and languages, the brain is already developed and makes it harder to think about and make the ‘switch’ between their mother language and the one they’re learning. The main topic of the video is how being bilingual does not make you smarter than unilingual people, but helps in your further life and makes your brain actively engaged in most situations. Hope you like it !
