I'm bilingual! I can speak both English and Spanish.
I think it is a great skill to have to speak more than one language.  It is called mulitlingualism and it is believed that there are more multilingual speaker in the world now than monolingual speakers.
Hm, that's interesting. Living in America, you would think that most people are monolingual. I wonder where most bilingual speakers live.
Aparently more than half of all european cities claim to be multilingual.
That's so cool. I've heard that bilingual people have different wiring in their brains compared to monolingual people. Makes me feel pretty special!
Also research says that multilingual people are much more adept and proficient at learning in general.
More people should be multilingual, if that's the case. I know that learning a new language is hard, but the benefits are overwhelming.
Definitely. Another name for people who speak more than one language i have just discovered is polygots.  i had never heard that word before.  
I've never heard of that word either. Interesting. 
But you are right though with the ease of information these days facilitated by the internet, we are exposed to multiple languages so it is promoting a need to get additional language skills.
