Why learning a language? Studying a language creates more positive attitudes and less prejudice toward people who are different, helps you meet new and interesting people. The study of foreign languages boots confidence, listening skills and memory. It improves the knowledge of one’s own language: English vocabulary skills increase! The study of foreign languages teaches and encourages respect for other peoples. Foreign language study will completely chance your traveling experience.
No matter the motivation, many students find that the experience of studying a new language enriches their lives. But did you also know a language changes your brain at a physical level? If picking up a language as an adult looks good, doing it as a senior is even more impressive! Research has shown that knowing more than one language can potentially reduce the risk of dementia and delay Alzheimer’s Disease. It also improves concentration and memory.
