It is an interview with Dr Bialystok, a research professor at the University of Toronto, who has spent the last 40 years of her distinguished career studying the benefits of bilingualism.
In this article, she discusses some of the findings from her research.
To sum up, she found that learning, and speaking regularly, another language is good for you because:
- It boosts children's cognitive development and gives them an advantage in their learning and logical thinking
- It delays the symptoms of Alzheimer's in older adults
- It enables us to be better at multi-tasking
- It rewires the brain and makes it more efficient at resolving problems
Now that's good news.
I encourage you to read the article and to see how bilingualism can benefit you and your family.
It is never too early or too late to start your language-learning journey. I offer classes for all ages and levels, starting with tots. Book a class and change your world!
Merci!
