Question on bilingual language acquisition from non-native speaker

[Luckhurst, Joan]

I would like to have some of the references to which Annalee is referring - if we are going to cite what studies "show", we should provide at least the reference information to support that claim, particularly such a sweeping claim as increased intellectual capacity due to bilingual status.

hi,

Studies have shown that bilingual learners end up alot smarter than there peers, they use neural pathways unknown to the monolingual child. I think You are very lucky to have high proficiancy in another language, so why not teach it to your child.

yours annalee.
