Learning a new language may slow down the aging process of your brain. I grew up speaking two languages. Then I moved to a new country (Singapore) and in Singapore, the education system has a bilingual policy - so I have to learn 2 new languages in my primary school. Now I meet the love of my life - but her family speaks a language I can't understand. So I'm learning my fifth language.

Is anyone aware of applications of plasticity in the learning of a second language. I think there are a lot of potential benefits for our learners in speaking and processing a foreign language.
