Is it better to be multilingual or monolingual

This will also include those people working in multilingual contexts. In this text, therefore, I will offer some reasons which motivate multilingualism. Multilingualism is a case where one can speak more than three languages. These individuals are always referred to as polyglots because of their ability to master various languages (Tietz & Susanne 2018, 2). Healthy linguistic has a culture that growth and development in a person can be achieved through a single language. Not only the person accesses the culture of the other language group but also learns the history, experiences and thus gaining a multicultural, comprehensive outlook. This will help in collaborating foreign culture and would reduce incidences of xenophobia and racism. Monolinguals, on the other hand, monolinguals have a disadvantage when it comes to cultural experience as there is an inability to converse in another language that is foreign other than the mother tongue when talking with other people.

Therefore contributes to poor interaction. As Nelson Mandela puts it, that when you talk to a man in a language that he understands, that will go to his head, but will go to his heart when you talk using his native language. Conclusion The use on monolingual as compared to multilingual may draw a conviction which multilingualism causes and have been known to worsen speech language that monolinguals alleviate or blocks them (Costley et al 2018,34). Speech disorder which includes, stuttering, language disorders which include, SLI and developmental disorders example autism impact on individual language bearing in mind that, linguistic language relates to emotional, social, physical and cognitive development. Language thus can be atypical or typical and this is regardless of the child’s number of languages.
