But are there other advantages to having a bilingual (or multilingual) brain? Mia Nacamulli details the three types of bilingual brains and shows how knowing more than one language keeps your brain healthy, complex and actively engaged.

Oh, I feel weird now. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I've been learning my 6th language since December and I'm 15 years old. Since 4 languages is the minimum in Flanders if you get a normal education, it didn't seem unnatural to me - until I watched this video.
Flemish = Belgian Dutch (native language), French (which I have been learning for 5,5 years), Latin (for 3,5 years), English (for 2,5 years), German (for 4 months) and classical Greek (since last month, because it isn't an option at my school. Fortunately I found some grammar and books on the Internet :) -

Ça ne set à rien de parler plusieurs langue quand on n'a jamais grand-chose à dire. Sometimes it's better to focus on expanding your vocabulary in your own language. Se bem que dominar uma língua estrangeira treina nosso cérebro a buscar a precisão, o que é sempre bom...

Knowing only one language really well is preferable to knowing many languages not so well. IMHO.
-
hmm many of indonesian at least trilingual speakers
-
I'm a native Hindi speaker and learnt English when I was a kid (4-6 Year Old). I'm trying to learn Japanese but it is hard to learn when you grow.
-
I speak German and Chinese fluently, in school we have to learn French and English, so I speak those languages as well, but not as good as German or Chinese, last year I have started to learn Italian.
-
Im fluent in Finnish, English (kinda), Swedish, Korean and Russian!
And i'm only seventeen. A lot of my foreign friends, mostly americans, say that they can't learn a new language since they are so "old" but honestly if you are thinking about it just start! It's so much fun and people tend to think it's alot harder than it actually is.
It took me only a year to learn english and now i'm pretty much fluent. I was already fluent Finnish wich is considered one of the hardest languages in the world so in my case english just seemed so simple that i learned it quick.
So if you are thinking about starting to learn a new language i say go for it! -
learning English is extremely hard for a Chinese. English classes are our childhood torture, our collective grievance. Since kids, we took it for granted that words should by right be hieroglyphic, that the weird, horrible, unreasonable alphabetic form of a language is nothing short of a nightmare. Imagine our shock when we were told by westerners that Chinese is indeed the horrible one to learn.

I can speak arabic/english/some french and korean, learning languages is a great thing and will make visiting any country a very special experience though i have never travelled outside of my country due to financial reasons TT
-
How about dialects? I speak Dutch (mothertongue) English and German (alsmost fluent). Besides those three I speak a dialect from the region in the netherlands where I live. Does that count as a languauge
-
