Being Bilingual /Lerning 2nd Language May Be The Secret To Delaying Brain Ageing
R B Habib:
Being multilingual has got more benefits than the 'monolingual' myth popular once as we find Robert Phillipson mentioning in his book: Linguistic Imperialism. Even, the natives, rather academic-natives of English specially, have started realizing it for a decade or so now.
Tahsina Apu:
Keep learning and it's the story of many homes now. My niece is a Hindi speaker, too. However, I somehow stopped her with positive effect, to me at least, as she was picking all these from Hindi serials her mother and aunt addicted to. I was more concerned of mindset than language.
I got VCR for few years of my childhood, too, though it vanished as soon as I almost completed my primary, I guess. I learned Hindi from Star Plus serials and movies I became inclined to post my HSC and it paid me well in India and Nepal visits. So, no restriction to learning new languages :)
Tahsina:
Yup! True! Everything learnt comes back and pays you back somehow...
Afroza Akhter Tina:
