- Start date
Speaking more than one language protects the brain against cognitive decline and makes a person better at multi-tasking, researchers said Friday at a major US science conference.
Being bilingual, or even learning a second language late in life, has been shown to slow the decline of some key brain functions, said Ellen Bialystok of York University in Canada, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Makes sense to me. Learning another language takes too much effort and the end result is usually not worth it. This is why I wish we all spoke 1 universal language, that's it, JUST ONE HUMAN LANGUAGE and destroy the rest. Would make this world a whole lot of fun.
Okay then we go with the most commonly spoken language? So that would be mandarin or arabic
Here is an article, stating that speaking more then one language is good for your brain, and you two guys goes on about speaking only one language, as if that was the conclusion in the article.
You two, will from now on be known as Beavis and Butthead ...
