In today’s increasingly and interconnected world we are closer than ever to people around the world, and our proficiency in other languages is a vital skill that gives you the opportunity to succeed in the global economy as well as keeping your brain active. Here are some of the main benefits of learning a foreign language:
- Strengthen decision making: Research shows that decisions made in your second language are more reason-driven than those made in your native language as we distance ourselves from the emotional responses and biases associated with our culture and language.
- Work out your brain: People who speak more than one language will improve their memory, problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Furthermore, as we age, learning a new language helps stave off mental aging and cognitive decline.
- Visit the world: While monolinguals are able to visit the same places as bilinguals or multilingual people, those who speak the language of that country will be able to navigate more efficiently and connect with its people in a more convenient way.
- Advance in your career: In today’s market, having more than one language is a significant competitive advantage as it is among the top eight skills required in all occupations. In the last decade, the number of job postings requesting bilingual professionals has more than doubled in the US.
Remember, it is never too late to learn a new skill. Especially with the many apps that can help you learn on the go!
