How the Brain Benefits from Being Bilingual
Being bilingual definitely has its benefits when it comes to jobs. Most employers are willing to pay you a higher salary for being fluent in two or more languages, but this isn?t the only perk. Your brain also benefits from bilingualism. Believe it or not, being bilingual makes you smarter and greatly improves your cognitive skills.

I am bilingual and my intelligence has been decreased not improved, which make the statement that the brain benefits from being bilingual useless and obsolete.

I know that being bilingual has helped me to get this job for what it's worth. Learning English was a necessity for me though - you don't get very far by speaking only German.
