I want to emphasize how helpful it could be knowing another language and traveling outside of the country. I would like to get different perspectives from researchers and individuals have had an experience outside of the United States and because they were multilingual, the transition to a new country wasn’t as difficult as it would be if they only spoke one language.
In this video, I wanted to discuss the misconceptions of being multilingual. Although learning a new language for everyone isn’t the same, it is something that is definitely obtainable. Many people believe that it is just too hard to fluently speak more then one language, but according to my sources this is not true. There are also plenty of ways to go about learning a new language. With technology being as advanced as it is there are videos that can walk people through step by step as well as books just in case people want to learn outside of the classroom.

Multilingual can also have multiple personalities. It has to do with different languages being harder to grasp and understand than others.

The people that I have interviewed explained how speaking more than one language can enhance your life in terms of traveling and in terms of pay. When it comes to traveling multilingualism offers the advantage of being more social which can help in terms of networking and just getting around a different country. Multilingualism can also help increase a person’s salary at a job or even offer them a more superior position. This is also a good look on a person’s resume and increases their chances of getting hired for a job.
