The Amazing Benefits of Learning a Foreign Language
LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE BOOSTS BRAIN POWER.
A foreign language is a whole new system with distinct rules and meaning, which are just
a few of the complexities of a language. Learning a new one puts the brain to task by
recognizing this new language structure. As the brain works out meaning and makes full
use of this new arsenal to express ideas, it sharpens skills on reading, negotiating, and
problem-solving
THE FIRST LANGUAGE IS IMPROVED.
A student of foreign language is exposed to a whole new language structure and makes
him more conscious of vocabulary, grammar, conjugation, idioms, sentence
construction, comprehension and conversing. Learning this new mechanics is usually
done juxtaposed with English, or the first language. Hence, students become more
aware of English and develop a good ear for listening to the subtle gradations of each
language. The first language is usually not as thoroughly studied, for the simple reason
that it’s a given. But with the new language on the other side, a student finds it
important to look at English with more interest.
MEMORY IS IMPROVED.
The more the brain is used, the better its functions work. Learning a new language
structure entails familiarizing with vocabulary and rules, and applying these memorized
information into communication. This strengthens memory because the brain has built
its ability to associate information with mnemonics and retains information better.
Hence multilingual people have brains that are more exercised and quick to recall
names, directions, shopping lists.
PERFORMANCE IN OTHER ACADEMIC AREAS IS ENHANCED.
Because the brain is made to operate differently, it develops a variety of cognitive skills.
Studies show that the benefits of learning a new language included higher scores on
standardized exams in math, reading comprehension, and vocabulary by multilingual
students compared to the scores of monolingual students. These were observed in ACT
and SAT exams. Continued immersion was known to increase IQ and develop
innovativeness in students.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE EXPANDS CAREER POTENTIALS.
With universal unemployment problems, a multilingual ability is definitely a competitive
edge over others. It is an ability that tells of a person’s intelligence, flexibility, openness to
diverse people, and decision-making skills. And these are just bonuses to the evident
ability to communicate in several languages and cross cultural barriers.
IT BUILDS SELF-CONFIDENCE.
Self-confidence is a natural consequence after summing all benefits of learning a new
language. By simply mastering one skill, the other faculties are developed. People tend to
gravitate around multilingual people because of their skills; others simply find the
polyglots’ openness and quick-mindedness naturally attractive.
IT AIDS IN SELF-DISCOVERY AND SELF-ACTUALIZATION.
It is an interesting outcome, not at all something that you list as your expected result
when you embark to learn a new language. But trying to understand a language and the
heritage that goes with it will put you in a position of self-discovery. It makes you come to
terms with how you view the world and other cultures, and have more appreciation of
your own. In the end, you come to terms with yourself, too.
A PERSON’S ABILITY TO MULTI-TASK IS DEVELOPED.
Multi-tasking is stressful to those who are not skilled at it. People who are multilingual are
proficient at slipping from one tongue to another, one language system to another totally
different language mechanics. This is a very distracting and demanding work, not only for
the tongue and language faculties, but especially for the brain. People who have
developed this are highly proficient multi-taskers and commit very minimal error when
juggling various activities
