During my life I've seen everywhere, in movies, telly, school, video games, etc, things in another language, different of mine and I feel confused because I didn't know nothing about it, nowadays I can understand it, I mean I'm in this way, so I realized how important is learn another language, because you need it, the whole world is in a language different and If we or I want to be part of this world we have to learn a lot, and with that learning we'll be able to defend ourselves and catch the opportunities of life.
I look for information on internet and all the websites had the same goal in relation with their information, to be bilingual can open infinite doors in your life, in the working, cultural, social and personal ways.
also I found some myths e.g. "Learning two languages confuses a child and lowers his intelligence." (http://www.nethelp.no/cindy/myth.html)
I think people who thought that have a lower intelligence than people who are learning.
this short video shows how important is be bilingual...
I agree with you in the fact that to be bilingual can open a lot of doors and give a lot of opportunities in your life. I think the most important thing when you are learning another language, is the culture that the language represents. So that way, when you learn a language, you're its culture as well. It's very good you think that way, and eventually you'll learn more and more not only about the language, but also things from a foreign culture.
