"Bilingualism helps share idea around the world, so we'd be more connected as red-blooded, oxygen-breathing mortal humans that be divided because of the country one lives in, the religion we believe in, the color of our skin, or even the words we speak. All in all, language bonds people to people by sharing ideas, cultures and words. "
~Lyca
"Hablar dos idiomas supone la apertura de la mente a más de una cultura o forma de vida."
"Speaking two languages opens the mind to more than one culture or lifestyle."
