We are the gifted beings on the earth bestowed with 6 senses that segregates us from rest of the lives in the universe. The biggest boon we are blessed with is to own a way through which we express ourselves- “Languages”. One of the great philosophers quoted,
“Language is the road map of a culture; it tells you where its people come from and where they are going”
In this competitive world, you have to replicate your knowledge to grab your place.So why confine yourself being a “monolingual”. Explore more and widen your language horizon by learning more languages.
Language and your brain functioning:
A single color doesn’t make a spectacular picture; Rather, Multicolor makes it magnificent!
Now applying the same analogy, expertise in many languages boosts your brain functioning!
Some of the researches conducted by famous universities reveal astounding information about multilingualism.
- People who can speak more than one language are good at “multitasking”. They can easily switch between two different structures.
- They are better in taking decisions and being assertive about their actions.
- They have good critical thinking ability and are more perceptive.
- Learning a language involves memorizing rules and vocabulary that sharpens the mental “muscle.” This exercise improves overall memory. Multiple language speakers are better at remembering lists or sequences like retaining shopping lists, names, and directions.
- Their IQ is higher than the monolinguals.
- Neuroscience reveals that they are nimble, can resolve conflicts easily, and can decide over ambiguities easily.
- People who have knowledge of many languages are rarely affected by Alzemirs disease and Aphasia (Aphasia is a disorder caused by damage to the parts of the brain that control language. It can make it hard for you to read, write, and express yourself.)
Learning many languages shall strengthen the cognitive processes in your mind. Cognitive process means the mental process of knowing, including aspects such as awareness, perception, reasoning, and judgment.
Ziad Youssef Fazah is aLiberian-bornLebanesepolyglot (Polyglots-people who are savvy in learning new languages and can easily grab it). The Guinness Book of World Records up to the 1998 edition listed Fazah as being able to speak and read 58 languages.
