What are the cognitive benefits of being multilingual?
Language surrounds you nearly every waking moment of your life. From your first words to your last, language helps you communicate your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to connect with others. And for many people, this rich linguistic environment involves not just one language, but two or more.
Today, I’m going to explore the profound cognitive benefits of language. Specifically, how knowing more than one language can have a big impact on key brain functions like concentration, memory, task-switching, and creativity. It can even help slow cognitive decline.
Beyond the brain benefits, research shows that the majority of the world’s population is multilingual. That means the more languages you can speak, the deeper the connections you can forge with those around you. If you’re looking for practical tips, techniques, and resources to help you pick up new languages faster and more effectively, this episode is for you.
