We live in a globalized world, in which the english is becoming one of the most spoken languages. Being bilingual is obviusly beneficial, even though it has its downsides as well.
Firstly, being bilingual makes it easy to communicate between people from the other side of the world, as you may both speak a widespread language like english. Besides, it is useful in many different situations, such as travelling.
On the other hand, the fact that the world is so globalized can affect the cultural diversity in a negative way, ending up causing the disappearance of minor languages which means a loss of culture enrichment.
In conclusion, despite the fact that being bilingual in a globalized world can be very practical, it is also disadvantageous for not so widely extended languages.
