Multiple languages

 

I’m fascinated by people speaking multiple languages.  It is so common here in The Valley.  This region is 90% Hispanic and 10% Anglo.  Most every person we deal with is a Spanish speaker, but they speak with us in English.  Switching seamlessly between Spanish and English; they make it seem so easy!

 

How do they hold that much information in their head and keep it all straight?  Is it a good workout for their brain?  Are there cognitive advantages as a result?  Do they possess a mental agility that I don’t?  As I plod along in one language, are they frolicking?
