Learning a foreign language, like English, for example, is not only
important to find a good job or to travel abroad, but some scientists have
proved that learning languages has strong effects on our brain. Recently, some
English scientists examined a group of bilingual people and detected that
knowing a second language modify positively the brain structure, to be more
specific, the brain area which processes information. This is good because it
helps to have a better memory and better learning processes. Learning a language is also important because
it helps to delay Alzheimer; a study done some months ago showed that people who
speak more than a language have Alzheimer symptoms four or five years later
than people who are monolingual. And that is not all, it is observed that
children who learn more than a language have great power of concentration, and
they can better ignore interferences which may distract them from what they are
studying or doing. Do you feel like learning English now?
