It is proven : learning a foreign language is good for you !
Hello, Bonjour!
We already know that learning a foreign language can keep diseases such as Alzheimer at bay, now researches have proven that it can also save you if you suffered a stroke. A study of 600 people who suffered a stroke proved that 40{324481812fbadc15b89e6d5a42193f0120379a59f80814444d6809be47ea3e73} of those who could speak at least another language recovered normal cognitive functions quicker than those who didn’t! Alors, qu’est-ce que vous attendez? So, what are you waiting for?
Even though, to fully master a language, nothing replaces total immersion, every little helps, whether you listen to the language actively or passively, read in French, watch a French movie – ideally without subtitles or if you must with French or English subtitles – depending on your level, listening to a French song – with or without the lyrics – anything you do, will contribute to reaching your final goal, whether it’s just being able to get by or chat to the locals or have more ‘philosophical’ conversations with the natives! Alors on y va! So, let’s get started!
