Abstract
In this increasingly globalized world, multilingualism is becoming more and more common [1]. Bilinguals or multilinguals represent the majority, with over 50% of the world speaking at least two languages [2]. How exactly this widespread group of people differs from their monolingual peers is a question that has inspired many avenues of research. Is learning another language worth the effort? How does learning this second language affect the brain? This article expands on the role certain regions of the brain play in language acquisition and processing, the effects bilingualism can have on brain structure, the possible benefits of being bilingual, and how age of acquisition limits such benefits.
