Being bilingual helped me understand English grammar in a way I wouldn&#x27;t have otherwise. It also helped my writing skills immensely (IMO). Taking college junior&#x2F;senior level French literature classes was extraordinarily difficult but rewarding. I did more work for my one French class than I did for five junior&#x2F;senior level business classes (Finance&#x2F;Accounting&#x2F;MIS). It&#x27;s why I eventually stopped, that and I realized I don&#x27;t like evaluating literature in English, much less French (they didn&#x27;t have business language classes at my Uni in the 1990s).
