CD
to learn several foreign languages, illustration only
Can
you speak more than one language?
Here,
one of activities of churches and libraries is to facilitate
communities to learn new languages.
This
service is free and everybody can join them. A chapel on campus
serves not only English (English Second Language) but also Spanish
and Chinese. How fun!
For
children, many of them grow up exposed to two languages from an early
age. It does not hard for them to learn more than one language at the
same time, even they tend to borrow one word from another.
We
still remember the concepts in the past about bilingual. It said that
bilingual was bad for brain. By then, many scientists have conducted
researches about bilingual and multilingual.
Learning
Spanish
The
researches had been done for bilinguals in all level of ages, from
bilingual in baby to bilingual in elderly. Many amazing findings
about them.
Brian
Gold, a neuroscientist found that people who bilingual since
childhood are better at the high-order thinking than monolingual
seniors.
Craik
and his colleagues conducted a research for 211 patients who
diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's in clinics at Baycrest, Toronto,
Canada. They classified the patients as bilingual (102 patients) and
as monolingual (109 patients).
He
said “We found that the bilingual patients had been diagnosed 4.3
years later and had reported the onset of symptoms 5.1 years later
than the monolingual patients. Bilingualism thus appears to
contribute to cognitive reserve, which acts to compensate for the
effects of accumulated neuropathology”
The
data confirm that lifelong bilingualism give a protection against the
onset of Alzheimer's Disease.
Interesting.
ReplyDeletevery helpful post:)
ReplyDeleteBardzo ciekawe informacje. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Evi!
ReplyDeleteSo, a little bit "brain gymnastic" is good ...
You give us very important information.
Thank you very much!
Hugs from the Netherlands!
An interesting post I read about it with bilingual children learning two languages at once.
ReplyDeleteIn un mondo globalizzato è necessario conoscere più lingue possibili e io apprezzo chi le sa parlare. Purtroppo io conosco a malapena un po’ di francese, comprendo un po’ lo spagnolo e comprendo pochissimo l’inglese. Sono un asino. L’iniziativa che ci hai descritto è davvero lodevole. Buona serata.

ReplyDeleteA foreign language is an asset. Knowing more than one language is very helpful in life. I master three languages, and have some knowledge in two more languages.
ReplyDeleteI gretly reccommend parents to expose their children to the learning of languages.
You are amazing, Duta!.

I want to learn another language ☺
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
I can well believe that learning and using a second language helps exercise the brain. Speaking and understanding a second language forces your mind to work in ways it doesn't need to do when speaking your native language. Different languages work differently, emphasizing and de-emphasizing different kinds of distinctions. Expressing an idea in Japanese is very different from expressing the same idea in English.
ReplyDeleteOf course it has other benefits. When visiting a foreign country, knowing some of the language is practically useful and often makes a good impression on the local people.
Es un placer pasar por su blog Saludos de fin de Semana
ReplyDeleteI need to learn more languages then. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Evi! It is very interesting to learn different languages.
ReplyDeletehave a good day:)
ReplyDeleteI am learning to speak in Mandarin.
ReplyDeletegreat knowledge dear Evi
ReplyDeletemy father could speak more than seven languages spoken in various parts of our country though he never visited abroad to learn foreign language
i can speak three provincial and one foreign (english)
our brain is designed for learning if it won't stay in practice process will slow eventually
I'm a language teacher and I actually read about this. Learning a new language is good for our brain. I'm multilingual and I love learning languages.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post my dear, thank you for sharing :-)
ReplyDeleteHo gradito molto la lettura del tuo articolo.
ReplyDeleteBuona domenica,silvia
¡Hola Evi!
ReplyDeleteMe gusta mucho este Post, veo estupendo que ahí tengan los niños y no tan niños, la oportunidad de aprender idiomas gratuitamente, eso no pasa en todas partes.
Si es importante ser bilingües y si se enseña en la infancia, mejor que mejor.
Ha sido un placer visitar esta tu casa.
Te dejo mi inmensa gratitud y mi gran estima.
Un beso y se muy, muy feliz.

Hello Evi!
I really like this Post, I see great that there are children and not so children, the opportunity to learn languages for free, that does not happen everywhere.
If it is important to be bilingual and if it is taught in childhood, better than better.
It has been a pleasure to visit this your home.
I leave you my immense gratitude and my great esteem.
A kiss and be very, very happy.
Hi Evi, Learn new things is always goog. Learn a new languagem is better is even better. This is a great initiative from the church and the library.

You bring up such interesting topics! I'm so glad I came to your blog today)

where is polish language:P
ReplyDeleteI am precisely a pre-retired French teacher. I have taken several English courses, so I speak it and understand it at the basic level, before with practice I mastered it better.
ReplyDeleteI also understand Portuguese and Italian in a basic way, although I don't speak them.
Let's say that languages have always been part of my life, the bad thing is that in Spain, this issue has not been valued, in general, until a few years ago.
You have a good day!
A hug
This is a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
