[quote=Anonymous]I had an Argentine dad and an Alsatian mom. We spoke Spanish and English at home and I got alot of exposure to German and French, as well. Being Bi-Lingual (sorta tri/quad, but not really good in German or French), has helped my career enormously. It has been a deciding factor in my ability to obtain employment on several occassions, admissions to universities and in terms of social understanding, I have grown up in essentially 3 communities (a US hispanic one, a US anglo community, and two spanish speaking foreign communities). This has given me a great ability to relate to a whole host of different people and understand different perspectives - because to know a language is to know a different way of thinking in some respects. This helps with logical reasoning, critical thinking and I think is a huge benefit. My son will go to LAMB next year.[/quote]
