     - Learning to speak two languages when you're young, new research shows, gives you a more nimble mind. But bilingualism also has a downside - more frequent moments of confusion when choosing words. Researchers at Northwestern University found that people who are fluent in two languages establish brain pathways and learning strategies that make it easier to acquire additional languages. "Our research shows that the experience of becoming bilingual itself makes learning a new language easier," says study author Viorica Marian. But another study found that speaking two tongues give you a second one to trip over. Jeannie Pyers of Wellesley College tells New Scientist that bilingual speakers studied were more likely to suffer the "tip-of-the-tongue" stumble, in which they suddenly forget that word they were just about to say. Bilinguals know twice as many words as monolinguals, and use most of them half as frequently. So in the heat of the moment, they're more likely to come up short.
    Just remember that...
    "Monolingualism Can Be Cured"
