In response to this question, I want to know a little more about each of you. Do you speak more than one language? Do you play a musical instrument? Did you learn this skill at a younger age or later in life? What distinct advantages do you notice accompany your skill? **(If you don’t speak two languages nor play an instrument, defend one as being more beneficial from both a mental and social perspective)** Perform the following tasks: • Step 1: Post your initial response to the discussion topic on the discussion board (250 words).
