Babble, babble, babel...?

So how many of my friends have kids now? And how many of them are already trillingual by birth? Just imagine, in 20 years, with everyone moving and expatriating all over the place, most kids will be trillingual...maybe the percentage is already close to 50% in some areas?

I remember something about most Europeans being billingual nowadays: local language and the native one, or the local language and English.

I wonder, will the left brain take over the right brain then? Or will it grow bigger? Mind you, there are already so many right handed people already, it shouldn't change much..but I wonder still..would you become left handed to relieve your left brain???

And so while looking for lateralization of brain function, I stumbled on NLP, which is used in managerial training, and which seems to be some bullshit disguised as a formula for success...but! Everyone believes in it and get NLP certified....interesting...

WEll im reading this book about teaching kids to read before the age of 6, and it says kids before the age of 6 cant be taught up to 5 language. and that their brain is still like a sponge that they could absors lots of information. pretty interesting.
