Humans have a unique ability to learn more than one language. Keeping actively bilingual makes our brains more efficient at relaying information... There is more and more evidence that bilingualism can affect how the brain works. Older, lifelong bilinguals have demonstrated better cognitive skills in tasks that require increased cognitive control. These cognitive effects are most pronounced in bilingual people who speak two languages in their everyday life for many years, compared to those who speak a second language but don’t use it often. Our new research has now highlighted the structural improvements on the brain observed in bilingual people who immerse themselves in two languages. Bilingualism affects the structure of the brain including both major types of brain tissue – the grey matter and the white matter. Language-learning restructures the brain Bilingualism makes brains more efficient Having immersion / bilingual schools is the best solution. theconversation/keeping-actively-bilingual-makes-our-brains-more-efficient-at-relaying-information-36045 ► MBQ : https://facebook/pages/Le-Mouvement-des-Bilingues-du-Qu%C3%A9bec-The-Bilingual-Movement-of-Qu%C3%A9bec/151455778275114
