My parents spoke Punjabi here and there but mostly spoke English.

Not really. I understand it, but can't speak it for the life of me.

What are some of the advantages to being bilingual other than just being able to converse with more people?

Punjabi
My mum always spoke to me in Polish and I understood and could speak it perfectly. But at some point she gave up and now I only know a little. :frown:
I was brought up trilingual. I also studied 2 languages in secondary school and then continued both alongside a new language at university.
