Unwatchable because of annoying and disturbing background audio I thought you were supposed to be smart people; scientists Why do you have to torture your audience with this superfluous AI generated noise?

Being bilingual is great for your brain! Switching between languages helps you focus better, remember things more easily, and even keeps your brain sharp as you get older It’s like a workout for your mind!

Being bilingual is one of the core aspects of who I am
Comment from : @WilliamDavis-p6d

I am studying English as a second language but I can't fluent in English 😢
Comment from : @MuazimaKhan

Oh my GOD !!! Now I understand why Gujaratis and punjabis are more active on social sphere hence are more prosper than Hindustani/ Urdu speaking people because Gujaratis and punjabis both are bilingual they interchangeably use Hindustani/ Urdu and their respective language as a household means of communication thereby having more smart brain than rest of the people of the subcontinent!!

I'm fascinating with my second language, so it's a pleasant learning I watch series and movies on their original languages with subititles, it's a good way of training your brain

A 4-year delay for dementia, what kind of a big deal is that?
Comment from : @RicardoMartinez-oh9sq

Learning another language also makes me aware of how I talk in my mother tongue (English)! brI've noticed better projection and delivery overall when talking to others in whatever setting I am in it's like speech therapy!
Comment from : @CrazyCreativeButShy

I never ever felt comfortable with realtime listening and speaking in Russian Even when I cared about learning languages other than English, I really only ever cared about written and reading translation Infinitely too many -- in fact, absolutely all - of these videos about languages focus EXCLUSIVELY on speaking & listening Something even when was good at Russian, I never liked and never wanted to do with others Now we have superior handheld translation devices that can do a far superior job than I ever could
Comment from : @theultimatereductionist7592

I speak 4 languages and because the transition happens seamlessly, there are times I don’t realize what language I’m talking with, it’s happened before that I would answer to someone in the wrong language and they would look at me funny
Comment from : @ethaneveraldo

Can any one tell us more about the simple things which change after being bilingual like how the major thing changes in your life:- new job- accept in unibrOr tiny things like dreaming in your second language (my dream to dream in English)

Comment from : @なた-k8u

Dutch and British English are so close to each other that you can call them accents rather than different languages
Comment from : @ronanbakker

I felt that the benefits of learning a new language are truly remarkable It seems clear that the timing of learning multiple languages is crucial Seeing that using multiple languages can delay the onset of dementia and aid in recovery after a stroke, it was especially surprising to realize that this goes beyond merely being a means of communication and has a positive impact on brain health
Comment from : @수아-j9f

Love the fact that this gets published on "BBC Ideas", a channel originating from one of the most monolingual nations in the world But hey surely I'm just being nasty and actually the people who work for BBC Ideas actually speak multiple languages!
