Learning a foreign language has cognitive, social, and professional benefits. It improves memory, problem-solving skills, and focus in children. Knowing another language allows people to connect with others around the world and build lifelong friendships. Additionally, being multilingual can delay the onset of dementia and allow for traveling outside of tourist areas. With over 6,000 languages spoken globally, learning a new one is empowering and provides numerous advantages.
