There are a lot of scientists and researches that have shown the cognitive benefits of be bilingual. According to the Society of Neurosiencie bilingual brains develop distinct advanteges, one is that bilingualism enhances attention and concentration and protect against dementia and other old-age conginitive deseases.Bilingual kids will have an advantage at school , they will concentrate more in the tasks because their brain can ignore better irrelevant information and they will be good listeners. They are better at different thinking tasks, and are able to analize language on a metalinguistic level.
Appart of these cognitive advantages there are other social advantages, for example in the future they can get a better job, and cultural advantages because bilingualism offers an access and exposure to different cultures.
