Reasons to Learn New Languages:

The many cognitive advantages of learning languages are certain. People who speak more than one language have improved memory, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, enhanced concentration, ability to multitask, and better listening skills. In a world of more than 6,000 spoken languages, we sometimes require translation, but speaking at least one additional language empowers us to access information that would otherwise be off-limits. Language is the most direct connection to other cultures. Communicating in another language exposes us to and fosters an appreciation for the traditions, religions, arts, and history of the people associated with that language.
