5. Boost your memory
Babies brought up in a bilingual environment have stronger working memories than those brought up with only one language (Morales et al., 2013).
This means they are better at mental calculation, reading and many other vital skills.
6. Better multi-tasking
Bilingual people can switch from one task to another more quickly.
They show more cognitive flexibility and find it easier to adapt to unexpected circumstances (Gold et al., 2013)
