Nowadays speaking english can be so important as being able to speak your own mother tongue. English is one of the most spoken languages in the world and most of our schools are bilingual. But, what are the pro´s and con´s of learning two or more languages?

On the one hand, bilingual or multilingual children have the ability to dominate the languages at a very high level. Moreover, they are capable to pass information from one language to another in a easy way. Another advantage is that these children, who learn two or more languages in their childhood, have more oportunities to get a job, especially in other countries.

On the other hand, children that practise a multilingual education take the risk of not reaching a good level in any of the languages. In additon, the children who grow with two or more languages suffer physical problems, pronunciation problems or gramatical problems. Nevertheless, these problems can be difficult to correct, and sometimes therapeutic help is needed.

In conclusion I think learning English and in general other languages is very important because they will help us to find a good job in the future.
