Learning French - A New Language To Expand Your Mind

By Trevas Walker

When it comes to learning a new language, the benefits may often be overlooked. Of course everyone sees the travel benefits, and some see the benefits that a new language may have when they can do business in other countries, but too few really see the real benefits to learning a new language.

Put simply, learning French (or any other language), is more than just a way to expand your travel prospects, it's an excellent way to expand your mind.

Learning French & Your Mind
The often overlooked benefits to learning a language may be ideas you never thought of. For example, did you know that by learning a language like French, you'll also increase your understanding of your own language. It doesn't really stop there though. In fact, there are many benefits to learning a second language.

1. Improved Language Skills - Learning a second language will improve your language skills in general. You'll experience a better understanding of your own language, better insight into language structures, and usually increase your vocabulary in your first language as well as your second.

2. Better Reading Comprehension - It is proven that those who learn a second language well experience better reading comprehension in both their first and second languages.

3. Improved Cognitive Ability - Did you know that learning a second language can improve your cognitive abilities? It can!

4. Improved Resourcefulness & Creativity - People who are bilingual tend to be more resourceful and creative. A University study put the link to improved creative skills by simply learning a second language.

5. Cultural Understanding - By learning French, you won't just gain insights into language, but you'll also expand your horizons by learning about other cultures (there are 29 countries with French as an official language.

6. Personal Gratification - Of course, not to be forgotten is simply the personal gratification that comes with learning a second language.

With all of the benefits of learning a new language, it's surprising that more of us don't seek this out as their next learning adventure.

Thanks Trevas. French is one those "romance languages" along with Italian. Maybe someday when I get that chateau in the south of France...
