Perks of Acquiring a Second Language

The founder of the school Ecole Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Dr. Hind Louali is responsible for its management and the educational programs. Dr. Hind Louali is also a board member with Think Bilingual, a nonprofit organization that provides programs in bilingual education across the greater area that includes Austin, Texas.

By acquiring knowledge of a second language, people can reach and understand others better, in addition to a greater insight into their own culture. Knowing a second language can also attract opportunities in your work life. Further, bilingualism is a cognitive skill and potentially slows the intellectual decline that may occur during the later stages of life.

Bilingualism enhances the social interactions between the people of a community and throughout the world. People who know other languages are often more productive and open to other ethnic groups. Therefore, it creates a more civil environment that benefits all and increases the prosperity of a community.
