What are the advantages of being bilingual?

Answer:
  • You can build up a career as a translator.
  • You have the option of discussing things with a wider variety of people than if you just speak a single language.

When bilingual, one can speak two different languages. If you were to travel to China from America, you couldn't possibly know what others were saying unless they could speak English or you had a translater. But when bilingual, you could communicate with them without need of your second language or a translater.
