Professor: I want to share an interesting finding from a recent study. Researchers found that toddlers who are regularly exposed to two languages show increased cognitive flexibility. This means they are better at switching between tasks and thinking about problems in different ways compared to their monolingual peers. The study suggests that the brain-training effect of managing two languages begins much earlier than we previously thought, with significant long-term benefits for problem-solving skills.
