Let's take a closer look at these 6 benefits provided by education in two languages.
Improves the concentration of children

The University of York in Canada, published a survey finding that bilingual children when they reach the stage of instruction, not only better understand the language structures involved there as having a greater capacity for concentration.

This happens because, from the beginning of the process of stimulation and education, the child is discovering that there is more than one word to designate the same object, that is, the representation scheme is more complex. A simple toy has different names in each language, and that same word, within the language, can name other things.

This deeper dynamic involving two languages improves the child's capacity for abstraction and expands brain activity.
In addition, speaking two languages reinforces the connections between nerve cells, increasing the reserve of neurons in areas of the gray mass involved with cognition. The same process also favors blood flow in the region, making these children less prone to diseases.

Potentiate memory

A study conducted at the University of Granada, Spain, showed that bilingualism helps in the breadth of memory and attention. The researchers involved in the study concluded that mastering two languages has much more benefits than the already famous facility in communicating.

Groups of people fluent in two languages went through a series of tests, such as naming drawings in different languages, reading and translating sentences. During these tests, response time and brain activity were measured.

What do you think was the result?
A bilingual person manages to activate both languages simultaneously at those times, even in situations where only one of the domain languages is required. In that case, the memory is much more developed and activated at all times.

The tests also showed that bilinguals launch care mechanisms much more often than monolinguals. With this, decision-making capacity, for example, is improved.

Expands vocabulary and cognitive ability
This benefit is a large debtor of the two previous ones provided by bilingual education: concentration and memory improvements.

Fathers and mothers worry about excessive stimulation for young children who are educated in two languages. But the truth is that babies exposed to bilingual education have the ability to understand that there is more than one word to describe objects and situations.

In addition, the children get to know well which language is being used in each context.
