Learning another language appears to slow brain ageing, scientists say

A recent study suggests that learning multiple languages can significantly slow brain aging, with bilingual individuals' brains appearing around six years younger than monolinguals. The research indicates that the earlier one starts learning additional languages, the greater the benefit, potentially slowing brain aging by up to 13 years. This groundbreaking finding, presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies conference, underscores the profound cognitive benefits of multilingualism and highlights its potential role in maintaining brain health and delaying age-related cognitive decline.
