3.  Learning a second language is a good way to improve
brain function and obtain a professional advantage in
many fields. When studying a second language, constant
practice and exposure are key. Listening
to, reading, writing and speaking the language reinforce
what you learn. Although learning a foreign language is
best mastered at a young age, there are a myriad of
teaching methods, from cognitive to systematic, to
match any mental stage or condition and result in
proficiency.
❝The limits of my language are the limits of my
world.❞
‒Ludwig Wittgenstein

was conducted. The survey enquired about many of
the most likely methods that one would adopt
inorder to study a language and the statistics of the
survey is as follows.
