       Nowadays, most of our schools are bilingual. They teach foreign languages from an early age, because their objective is to see students fluent in two foreign languages by the time they finish secondary school. English is the first foreign language they normally teach, and French, the second.

But do you know the pro´s and con´s of a bilingual school?
On the one hand, in a bilingual school, one of the main advantages is the balance of languages. Children are educated in both languages on a daily basis which gives them the opportunity to naturally speak and think in the languages. Children who go to a bilingual school will be taught in two languages and therefore learn to think in both.

On the other hand, bilingual schools can be expensive because most of them are international or private, therefore tuition fees can be quite expensive. Moreover, not all bilingual schools offer a balanced education in both languages because in many there is a dominant language, then a second language. For a child to really have a bilingual education, it needs to be consistent throughout the years.

To end up, I think that learning foreign languages will help us a lot in the future to find a job, or when we travel or search information on the Internet.
