Speed Learning Helps Brain GrowthDear Reader,
Considering learning another language? Here's another reason to go forward with it. Learning languages appears to be a good way to keep your brain in shape according to a study published in the journal NeuroImage that examined brain size of those who were learning a new language at a very fast pace.
Learning a new language over a short time seems to make the brain grow according to the study that involved recruits at the Swedish Armed Forces Interpreter Academy who routinely go from having no understanding of a language like Arabic, Russian or Dari to speaking it fluently in just 13 months. This program goes at a pace that's not found in any other language programs.
As you might expect, these service members studied from morning to night, on both weekdays and the weekends. The recruits were compared to a control group of other students in medicine and cognitive science at Umeå University. The control group studied hard to be sure, but was not learning a language as part of their studies.
Both groups had magnetic resonance imaging, MRI for short, scans of the brain before and after a period of intense study that lasted a full three months. The scans demonstrated that the structure of the brain remained unchanged in the control group, but some parts of the brains of the language-learning students actually got larger. The area involved was the hippocampus, the part of the brain involved in learning new things and spatial navigation, as well as three other areas of the cerebral cortex.
Interesting that among the recruits, the subjects who naturally took to learning new language had bigger growth in the hippocampus and other areas related to learning a language. Those who had to put more effort in had greater increase in size in the motor area of the cerebral cortex. It was a surprise to the researchers that different parts of the brain actually developed differently based on how the subject performed and how much effort they had to put in.
There is earlier research that's found bilingual and multilingual people are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at a later age, perhaps as much as five years later, than those who only speak one language. It appears these people can handle two times as much brain damage (atrophy) before showing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. This might be because those who speak more than one language are always using their brains... and this regular activity helps the brain architecture remain robust, enriches blood flow and enhances neuronal action... all of which helps the brain stay healthy over the years.
Experts tell us that almost anyone can learn a new language quickly. The key to success is to pick the right language and the right technique. The most tried and true technique for learning a language is the immersion technique - just start speaking the language the first day of class. Nearly all programs use some form of this as part of their instruction. You'll also want to pick a language that isn't extremely different from the one you know... so that it will be easier to learn quickly.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker

P.S: There's a knock at the door. You peak through the curtains... a neighbor you weren't expecting.
You cast an eye over the room - it's a total mess! Shall you pretend to be out...?
We've all been there - caught out and embarrassed by the state of our homes.
Wouldn't it be great to always have a home that's free of clutter, one you're proud of rather than embarrassed by?
Now you can.
