This is based on the reading "How the brain handles Languages"
The human brain is divided into 2 great lobes-the right cerebral hemisphere and the left cerebral hemisphere. Information is transmitted from one hemisphere to the
Other. The hemispheres control movement.
It is said that in right handed people, it is the left hemisphere that is dominant in language and vice versa but not necessarily so.
The learning of languages helps the brain to stay in shape by allowing certain parts of the brain to grow. Learning a new language and putting in great efforts to learn show a definite growth in the cerebral cortex which is involved in language learning.
Sometimes it is very easy to forget the neurological planning that goes into the production and comprehension of language—be it spoken or written. It involves several steps that take part in the brain. This is called Neurolinguistic Processing. The analysis of slips of the tongue also tells us how the brain works and functions and about the neurological process that underlie speech.
Learning foreign languages definitely has a miraculous effect on the brain.
