The researchers found that the experimental group scored significantly higher in mathematics and language than those who didn’t receive language training.
In addition, it’s also been found that learning a foreign language improves decision-making and multitasking skills. And if that’s not enough, foreign language learning has been seen to delay the onset of dementia. So a skill you acquired years ago can dole out benefits even later in life. These are just some of the amazing benefits of learning a new language in general.
Studies show that decisions made in your second language are more reason-driven than those made in your native language. Contrary to popular assumptions, when we deliberate in a second or third language, we actually distance ourselves from the emotional responses and biases deeply associated with our mother tongue.
The result?
Systematic and clear-headed decisions based on just the facts.
