Theory #6 - Theory of Multilingual-ness

This theory is about the ability to speak more than one language. I'M calling it "multilingual-ness"... I realize it's not a real word. but i'd rather use it than use proper english :D Is there any advantage to speaking more than one language other than being able to communicate different people?
i think so :)


Theory of Multilingual-ness

Granted i believe in the back of my head i can come up with a couple of reasons why it's better to speak more than one language, maybe i'll talk about them later, but right now.. this is the first thing that comes to mind.

people who speak more than one language are more likely to be better kissers. (I SAID "MORE LIKELY", THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS ONE LANGUAGE CAN'T BE AN AMAZING KISSER)
(This also means that just cause someone speaks more than one language, he/she might STILL suck at kissing)

that's that.
learning another language sometimes requires learning entirely new letters, letters you didnt' pronounce in your own language. Even if there aren't any new letters, the old ones you knew have to be pronounced differently. like in french, you have to curve your tongue a certain way to pronounce "L", and blah blah blah.

even with different dialects of the same language, not necessarily different languages, you're required to move your mouth and tongue in different ways.
the first thing people might argue with me is that when you kiss someone, your mouth isnt' moving in the same way it is when you're talking. ok, sometimes that's true.. but the idea behind my theory is that your tongue is CAPABLE of more.
think of it like if someone's having sex, how it's better if their body is REALLY flexible.

that's kiiiinda what i'm shooting at.
people always say that the better you dance the better you are in bed, and that certain cultures just DONT' know how to move their bodies, while others do...

so with languages it's kinda the same. Your tongue is getting exercise, learning to bend in ways it couldn't before. you're
becoming a linguist, which means you're mastering something with your tongue and lips. why can't that contribute to your kissing skills?
if you spoke the same bland letters all the time, your tongue MIGHT only know how to do those movements over and over. the more languages you learn, the more control you have over your tongue and lips and what to do with them.

i realize this theory is a bit far-fetched.

it's what i think anyways.

hhmm..... i should really start those spanish classes i wanted 0:)
