From Ha'aretz -- The German-Swiss author and Nobel laureate Hermann Hesse said that every new language a person learns generates new ideas, and many people study languages to broaden their horizons. A new study now suggests that language learning has an even more beneficial effect - it protects the brain against decay and the effects of aging.
The study, by Tel Aviv University's Herczeg Institute for Aging, examined the link between multilingual skills and people's mental state in old age. It was published in the journal Psychology and Aging.
