it's true. language literally structures and wires the brain within thought-constructs of the linguistic framework. and english language is among the dumbest.

honestly if americans were actually better forced to be bilingual from an early-age it would greatly enhance and fix up brains because it does enhance thought and thinking. my one biggest regret is not doing that at a young age because being multi-lingual rules and now i'm far too dumb and rotted away to learn. i can barely remember english words/names as it is.

If it's really that great then do it now anyway. Otherwise don't just complain that kids should be forced to do it but you shouldn't which is just loving lazy.

we have mandatory bilingual education in canada where you learn french as a second language from like, grade 4 through 8, but there's also an option for parents to full-on throw their kids into French Immersion education where 50% of classes are taught in english and 50% are taught in french for all of elementary school

e: I only had the normal amount of french education plus another year in grade 9 and years later I remember enough french to guess what most stuff means and to say things like "sorry, I'm from Canada, my French isn't very good" and optionally "because Quebec speaks a bastard version of the language"

I didn't do French immersion, just the normal grades 4-8 French, and it was a joke. each teacher started from scratch each year. would have retained more from extra recess.

I'm somewhat convinced that tomorrow there is a strong possibility that, because reddit users posted some rocket ship emojis and then elon musk said "gamestonk" on twitter, the entire financial system will collapse. It is just so believable that the elite wall street bankers learned in 2008 that they can get away with literally anything and somehow are now losing a bet they made so badly that they owe trillions of dollars
