What is Multilingualism?

Multilingualism is the ability to communicate in more than one language. It involves speaking, understanding, and sometimes reading and writing multiple languages. This can apply to individuals, groups, or communities where several languages are in regular use.

Multilingualism is important because it enhances cross-cultural communication and provides individuals with a broader perspective. It also opens up opportunities in global business, education, and travel and helps individuals engage with a wider range of people and ideas. Additionally, multilingualism contributes to cognitive benefits, such as improved problem-solving and multitasking skills.
