Creativity and Bilingualism

Elements

• Growing up in a bilingual home
• Understanding certain slang from a specific language 
• Combining both languages to create a more diverse vocabulary
• Understanding ideas differently from both perspectives
• Differentiating vocabulary and grammar 

Individuals who are bilingual or multilingual can tap into multiple resources from the respective cultures of the language they may know.  Thus creating diverse or unique images containing a plethora of ideas from the knowledge of the language they speak.
