You Are What You Speak

"New research in the January 2000 issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience, found that the primary language a person is raised with affects the way he or she thinks and processes information. The researchers studied Italian and British college students found that the Italians read and process information faster, even when reading words from other languages."
