From the infographic above, we can see that there are four main benefits from learning a language: love, travel, intelligence and money. And, it's interesting to see that being a bilingual person can increase our chances to get a better life.

Recently I bought small and colorful book for kids called "Storytime For 2 Years Olds"

Here are some funny poems:  Wally Wally whale

Wally Wally whale

Had a ten foot tail –

He chased all the fishes

When he went for a sail.
