Why bilingual?
Extending enjoyment of reading and writing
If someone can read and write in two languages, they are able to enjoy two literatures in their original language. This can open up a deeper understanding of different traditions, ideas, ways of thinking and behaving. The pleasures of reading novels, poetry and magazines and writing to friends and family are all doubled.
Tolerance of other languages and cultures
Because two languages give someone a wider cultural experience, there is often a greater understanding of lifestyle differences
