多學一種語言對大腦裨益梁多

能以某一種語言閱讀、書寫、交談，對許多人而言已經足夠；這些人寧可把精力集中在能提升生活品質的事物上。

然而，科學家一再證實擁有雙語能力的好處遠比眾人所了解的還要多上許多。

首先，雙語對大腦有益。

學習二種語言的孩子會提升學業成績。

多項研究顯示，學習外語的小孩不僅業表現較為優異，標準化考試的得分也更高。

此外，擁有雙語能力的孩子在母語方面也展現出更出色的能力；他們的文法、字彙、拼字能力都比只能說單一語言的

孩童更加優越。

學習第二種語言的孩童能為解決問題的高手以及有創意的思考者，因為他們的大腦總是不停運作，選擇該說哪一種

語言，以及何時說。

學習外語甚至還能幫助孩子培養良好的數學技巧。

根據研究人員指出，學生在學習新語言時必須了解新語言的模式並且揭開謎團；而這兩種技巧對於精通數學而言至為

關鍵。

研究調查進一步顯示，具有雙語能力的青少年更擅長同時處理多件事務，而且更能在吵雜環境裡集中注意力。
