By mastering a second language, you mind and eyes are opened for a new world, enable you to be promoted in job or find new opportunities for your personal development or you business. These advantages of learning a new language are indeed true. But they are already publicly known and people don't like to be preached. You must have been trying to avoid them. Language learning improves your mental activity. Don't take learning languages as a torture or a damage of your brain cells. On the contrary, the reactivity of our brain cells can be improved. The reason is that the blood will gather into the head when we use our brain to learn things. Blood brings oxygen with it. Oxygen is not only necessary for our body but also good in activating the cells. Therefore, language learning acts like an oxygen pump for our head. That's why people say;The more you learn, the cleverer you will be. For this reason, you might say that any learning can do that to you. That's right. But learning languages is something meaning more than just learning. Learning a second language means a complete change of reading, listening and speaking habits. If you are learning a language that is completely different from your native language, it means more of a change than the difference in word composition. It means a whole turn over of the way of thinking. That's probably why old people with the foreign language speaking ability are reported to delay in suffering from senile dementia.
