The Bilingual Brain (Sponsored)

The most recent research, being published in the latter half of 2014 continues to demonstrate the multiple benefits being found in bilingualism. Years ago, it was clear that learning a new language is beneficial at the youngest years of life, in terms of ease of acquisition. More studies have showed that the ability to speak more than one language helps people multi-task with more ease. It can aid adolescents to operate better in a chaotic environment, as well as curbing later life cognitive complications, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s, by as much as four years, according to the Society for Neuroscience . More specific and fascinating information is available at www.brainfacts.org.

Some of the newest research available, due to great advances with the use of MRI technology, show that a bilingual person has more activity in the right hemisphere of the brain. The newest research and advances are also very useful to those who suffer neurological injuries and have loss of speech issues.

According to the US Census Bureau, 21% of people living in the United States say that they speak a second language in the home. Is your family in the 21% that now may have a brain advantage? And this number of bilinguals in our country is growing and changing, as we speak.

It is never too early or too late to start learning a second language, or to pick it back up. Lux Language Partners offers local private and small group lessons, or lessons for your school or organization. We are offering summer mini-sessions as well. Stay brain fit! Become Bilingual.
