Poster: 5 Ways Being Bilingual Makes You Smarter

Download and share this fun poster with your students and colleagues to show how learning a second (or third) language can be beneficial. People who know two (or more) languages have an advantage. They can tell the difference between "embarazada" and "embarrassed." They can ace their math test and their science test all in the same day. They can even impress their friends with extraordinary feats of vocabulary as they discern new words from second-language roots. Enter your email to receive the free poster.
