Fluency in a second language -- any language -- improves your cognitive functions. It makes you smarter.

Fluency in English, specifically, makes you more marketable, more capable of functioning in the world around you.

The argument against an English-only education is that until you gain fluency, you may miss out on some learning. That's quickly overcome though, as you are immersed in the new language.
