[LAST UPDATED 3 MONTHS AGO]

Did you know that over half of the world’s population is bilingual? This statistic may come as less of a surprise if you consider that there are nearly 7,000 languages spoken around the world! Being bilingual offers a wealth of benefits, from better brain function to improved job prospects. If you live in a vibrant place like New York City, being bilingual can even make it easier for you to meet new people. If you are considering learning a second language as an adult, it’s important to enroll in language classes designed for adult learners and immerse yourself in the language. Once you become fluent, you can maintain and improve your language abilities by taking classes, watching movies, and conversing in your new language. To find out more about the benefits of bilingualism, check out this infographic from Bluedata International Institute, an ESL school in New York City. Please share this infographic with your friends and family who are also hoping to learn English or any other second language!

Il mio compleanno è passato in un battito di ciglia (è stato ieri). Ho ricevuto un regalo che ritengo estremamente utile. Credo che ogni traduttore dovrebbe averne uno, perché è veramente ciò che serve in quelle notti gelide spese a lavorare fino a notte fonda. {Ho inserito una foto, così potete vedere.} A proposito! E’ quasi arrivato il momento di scartare tutti i regali che se ne stan sotto l’albero. Eh sì, è Natale!!! Perciò, oggi voglio solamente augurarvi tutto il meglio che c’è.

My birthday went by in the blink of an eye (it was yesterday). I received a very useful present. I think every translator should get one because it would help you in those cold nights spent working until late night. {I put a picture, so you can see it.} By the way, it’s almost time to unwrap all the presents under the Christmas Tree. Yep, it’s Christmas Time!!! So… Today I just want to wish you all the best.
