If English means endless new words,
difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven't
you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British
university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain
power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.
This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the
way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater
when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea
Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only
spoke English. They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals"
who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of
later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a
second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new
language, the smaller the difference.
"Our findings suggest that the
structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second
language," said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases
the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the
University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths
skills. "Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes
the brain more flexible (灵活的)," he said. "You are
actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different
ideas."
The findings were matched in a study of
native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between
the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all
tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.
"Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,"
explained the scientists.
