Languages and Dementia
I heard a great podcast the other day, from NPR/PRI. It has to do with the effects of speaking multiple languages on the brain and aging. Much research as been done in this area, and studies indicate that being learning another language can help slow aging in the brain and improve cognitive abilities, even if taken up in adulthood.
