Learning a foreign language could be stressful, we know: we don’t have enough time, we are always too tired, we don’t want another challenge (or maybe we want them too much!!): our life is too full of things to do!
But have you never thought that learning a language could have similar benefits to meditation?
It does!
Actually the benefits on your brain have been demonstrated through a lot of research (if you want you can read more information here.)
The most important proven benefits in learning a foreign language are: improvements in intelligence, memory and concentration as well as a reduction in dementia and Alzheimer’s risks.

Furthermore, doing the effort of learning and speaking a different language, enables you to build another pattern of thoughts: for that reason, you have a more open mind, you are feeling more confident and aware of what you can do: “The NEA report labeled the resulting benefits to self-image, self-esteem, and satisfaction as enormous. Students able to speak a second language have better listening skills, sharper memories and they are more creative; more than that, they are better at solving complex problems, and exhibit greater cognitive flexibility.”

Researchers from University College London revealed that ”the density of the grey matter in the left inferior parietal cortex of the brain was greater in bilinguals than in those without a second language”.
This is properly what happens when we meditate!!
Another research of University of California – Los Angeles UCLA reported that certain regions in the brains of long-term meditators were larger!
As result, our brain is more flexible when we meditate and if we learning a foreign language!!! “A stronger multi-path brain network implicated in both language and memory means that L2 learning success is correlated with the individual’s cognitive capacity”. Read more here.
