Bilingualism
Bilingualism has huge cognitive and practical benefits: it improves attention, benefits reading, fosters school performance and engagement, enhances empathy, and promotes diversity and integration. In addition, bilingualism literally changes the brain, to the point that, later in life, it provides some protection against the effects of neurodegeneration associated with cognitive decline and dementia.*
