Nathan Wallis on being bilingual

Nathan Wallis with the Hou Manu Hou team

“Being bilingual is one of the few things researchers can identify that enhances the entire brain and improves all brain function. Most things only enhance a part of the brain, but bilingualism enhances the entire ‘executive network’.  

“The benefits of bilingualism are so abundant in the research, it’s bordering on neglect to let a child grow up with only one language - so much of their potential is just not realised in a monolingual environment.”
