Scottish scientists discovered the unexpected health benefits of learning foreign languages. It turned out that such a load can protect a person from senile dementia. This assumption was confirmed by a study in which more than 260 11-year-old children took part. Scientists tracked respondents' ability to memorize information, as well as their IQ. After 60 years, when the people who took part in the study passed 70 years, scientists repeated the experiment. It turned out that those who studied foreign languages thought more accurately and their intellectual abilities were much higher for those who did not study languages.
Experts say that you can start learning foreign languages at any age. However, they clarify that in childhood it is much easier to do this.
