Personal growth

Trust us, when learning a new language, you will make a ton of mistakes… but that’s for the better! Learning a language can be tricky, especially in adulthood; however, there is nothing more satisfying than overcoming a challenge such as this. Making mistakes and learning from them can boost your confidence, and allows you to navigate uncomfortable situations more easily. Plus, adding another language to your resume can seriously boost your chances of getting noticed by potential employers!

Brain development

Learning a new language engages the brain and develops different neural pathways than it is used to. This can lead to an improvement in memory, spark creativity, and allow for higher levels of concentration. If there’s ever a word that’s just on the tip of your tongue, you just might remember it in another language first!

Open your mind

Some cultures have vastly different ways of thinking, and that is apparent in their languages as well. There are some languages that describe powerful and complex feelings in a single word, where other languages would struggle to define such a feeling in an entire paragraph. Learning a new language can literally give you a new perspective on life!

Experience culture in its intended language

Fans of cinema, poetry, literature, and so much more can open the door to beautiful works of art in other languages. As a continuation of the last point, some forms of culture lose their touch when they are translated into another language. Nothing can be more poignant than the artist’s original creation.

Connect with others

Learning a new language allows you to communicate more meaningfully with people in other cultures. Chatting with somebody in a different language can be fun and engaging, and it can lead to friendships that may have never happened otherwise. Being able to connect with more people is a powerful tool that can lead to lasting relationships throughout your life.
