In their book, The Bilingual Edge, King and Mackey describe some recent research findings on the language acquisition skills of several hundred high school students.  The conclusion: Bilinguals acquire proficiency in a third language more easily than monolinguals acquire a second language.

If you’re curious about this topic, The Bilingual Edge is a treasure trove , available for free at your public library or for $10 on Amazon.  There's also a primer on our web site.
