Abstract

Bilingualism as a phenomenon is becoming more and more prevalent and widespread all over the world. This is encountered in Albania as well, and thus it is considered important to pay some attention to this issue. It is an interesting linguistic phenomenon, which goes unnoticed as we live our daily life as ordinary people. We all are living with the benefits coming from speaking two or more languages. There are several advantages if one is bilingual or multi-lingual and several factors have influenced in having a bilingual society. This research focuses more on the advantages, as from the research conducted in order to shed light to this issue, it is obvious that Albanians have benefited a lot by being bilingual, and definitely the advantages outnumber the disadvantages. To draw conclusions, families bringing up bilingual children were interviewed and the results all show that the benefits are numerous especially in a developing country as Albania is.
