okay let's jump into today's topic
the 20 benefits of learning a language
so Before we jump in we should clarify
that for this video we've collected 20
ideas about the benefits of learning a
language we'll share about whether we
think these benefits are real or not
then hopefully give you some inspiration
along the way if you have your own
thoughts or have found a unique benefit
leave a comment let's get a discussion
going now let's jump in number one it
gives you access to more job
opportunities this is undoubtedly a big
benefit for many people the more
proficient you are in a language the
better but even knowing just a little
bit of language and culture gives you
things to talk about and reasons to
approach native speakers this can lead
to improvements in your networking
skills which can lead to job
opportunities and if you're already
bilingual then you already have access
to many more opportunities number two it
boosts brainpower
you're actually using your brain while
learning another language for example
spending an hour a day studying instead
of just watching TV means you're
learning new things and gaining more
perspective on the world around you
number three it allows you to travel
more easily this is definitely true one
of the biggest rewards of studying a
language is traveling to a place where
it's spoken and your travel experience
can be drastically different when you
speak or try to speak to native speakers
in their language people are happy that
you're learning their language it also
gives you something to aim for if you
study Italian you'll have a great excuse
to go to Italy number four it improves
your first language we agree with this
to an extent when learning a new
language it's critical to have an
understanding of the grammar of your own
language to make progress you have to
understand how grammar works in the
first place what infinitives
conditionals and modal verbs are before
you can understand it in your target
language so yes
learning a second language can improve
your understanding of your native
language number five it improves your
understanding of the world
for example people learning Japanese
sometimes mention they feel more polite
when speaking in Japanese and native
Japanese speakers sometimes express that
they can be more direct in English by
thinking and speaking in a different
language people consider different ways
of communicating this can change your
perspective and improve
understanding of the weights other
people experience the world number six
you get to experience new cultures if
you learn a new language you'll get
opportunities to explore you can check
out new movies music and restaurants and
find more places to visit number seven
learning is an achievement in itself
personal growth is one of the biggest
reasons people learn a language we
actually did a survey a few months ago
for our language program members many
people listed personal goal as their
main reason for studying we all have
goals and dreams it feels good to
achieve them number eight it improves
your memory we feel this is inconclusive
while some studies have shown that
continuing to study and expand the mind
over the course of your lifetime can
reduce the chances of memory loss in old
age we can't say that your memory will
improve by studying a language it
probably won't hurt but it might not
help number nine it improves your
ability to multitask we don't completely
agree with this multitasking in general
might not be such a good idea when
you're doing multiple things at once
you're not giving your full attention to
any one thing and if you've ever studied
language before you know that it takes
focus over an extended period of time to
improve while you may gain the ability
to switch quickly between your new
language and your native language for
example we can't say that learning a
language will improve your multitasking
skills number 10 it sharpens the mind
for example bilingual people are better
critical thinkers it's difficult to say
with certainty whether or not this is
true if you speak another language
fluently you might think more critically
because you're aware of some of the
limitations of certain languages in a
sense it might help you to be more
logical because you may be less swayed
by emotional language especially when
you're beginning and need to take time
to interpret words and work to
understand them but again this differs
from person to person number eleven it
improves your decision-making skills
again this could be true for some people
but it's hard to measure precisely when
you're studying a language you're
working toward a goal if you're very
invested in it you might spend hours a
day studying and thus making progress
this process of setting a goal and
working toward it over time is a good
skill to
and there are undoubtedly benefits of
applying this idea to other areas of
your life but we can't say that an
ability to make good life decisions
comes directly from learning a language
perhaps it could contribute to slightly
more adventurous decision-making let us
know if you have any thoughts about this
one number 12 it improves discipline
overall yes generally we agree here the
more you learn how to learn the more
disciplined you become and the more you
improve in other areas like in education
in diet and fitness related efforts and
in your career
number 13 your networking skills improve
we agree with this one we talked a
little bit about networking in the first
point knowing another language gives you
the ability to talk with more people you
can use this to build new relationships
and create a wider network number 14
your brain gets bigger studies suggest
that continuing to learn new information
increases gray matter in the brain which
is associated with memory while we can't
say for sure if language learning
specifically will increase gray matter
unless we get some before and after
brain scans from learners building in
depth knowledge seems to be associated
with better brain health overall if
there are any neuro scientists watching
please feel free to share your expertise
number 15 it stalls dementia and
Alzheimer's studies show that for
bilingual people symptoms of dementia
and Alzheimer's began at age 75 on
average for monolingual people symptoms
begin at about 71 continue learning and
development slows the deterioration of
brain function and helps keep the mind
sharp for longer number 16 you get to
make new connections this is absolutely
true knowing another language will allow
you to create new business or personal
connections you don't need to rely on
someone else to translate or interpret
for you and you have the freedom to
communicate in a way that's suited to
you number 17
it boosts your creativity we can't be
sure that language learning will
directly boost your creativity because
creativity is related to many different
things learning another language can
give you access to a lot of new media
books movies TV shows music art and so
on and that can certainly inspire you in
that sense language learning can
indirectly
you to be more creative number 18 it
boosts confidence this one really
depends on the person when you're
starting out you might not have a lot of
confidence and you might be afraid to
make mistakes but as you gain
proficiency you'll likely gain
confidence too if you reach
conversational level proficiency you can
do things like travel in the country
where the language is spoken and you
don't have to worry about
miscommunications which can give you
confidence so at a certain point yes
language learning can be an indirect way
to boost your confidence number 19 you
get to connect with your family or
ancestry we strongly agree with this one
a good portion of our language program
users are learning because they have
relatives that speak a specific language
learning that language allows them to
connect with their family members better
some people are also interested in
learning more about their ancestry and
want to learn the language their family
spoke in order to reconnect with their
roots lastly number 20 it connects you
to people places and things you care
about learning a new language allows you
to make new connections you've gained
the ability to make new friends create
close relationships and access things
you're interested in learning more about
and the more languages you speak the
more opportunities you have being able
to communicate in another language can
open lots of doors that would otherwise
remain closed so thank you for watching

好，让我们进入今天的话题
学习语言的 20 个好处，
所以在我们开始之前，我们应该澄清
一下，对于这个视频，我们已经收集了 20 个
想法 关于学习一门语言的好处，
我们将分享我们是否
认为这些好处是真实
的，如果您有自己的
想法或发现了独特的好处，希望在此过程中给您一些启发
发表评论 让我们进行
讨论 现在让我们跳到第一，它可以
让你获得更多的工作
机会这对许多人来说无疑是一个很大的
好处
你越精通一门语言
越好，但即使只知道
一点语言和文化也会让
你有话题可聊 以及
接触以母语为母语的人的原因 这可以
提高你的网络
技能，从而带来工作
机会，如果你已经会
双语，那么你已经获得
了更多的机会 第二，它可以
提高
你的脑力，你实际上是在使用你的大脑
学习另一种语言，例如
每天花一个小时学习而
不是只看电视，这意味着你正在
学习新事物并获得更多 重新
审视你周围的世界
第三，它可以让你
更轻松地旅行 这绝对是真的
学习一门语言的最大收获之一
就是去一个
说它的地方，当你说或尝试时，你的旅行体验
可能会大不相同
用他们的语言与母语人士交谈
人们很高兴
你正在学习他们的语言 这也
给了你一些目标 如果你
学习意大利语 你会有一个很好的借口
去意大利 第四 它可以提高
你的第一语言 我们同意
在某种程度上，在学习一门新
语言时，
了解您自己语言的语法
以取得进步至关重要，您必须首先
了解语法的工作原理
什么是不定式
条件句和情态动词，
然后才能理解它 你的目标
语言，所以是的，
学习第二语言可以
提高你对母语的理解。
第五，它可以提高你的
理解力 g 例如，世界
上学习日语的人
有时会提到他们
在说日语时会更有礼貌，而以日语为母语的
人有时会表示
他们可以通过用不同的语言思考和说话来更直接地说英语
人们会考虑不同
的交流方式 这可能会改变 你的
观点和提高
对重量的理解 其他
人 体验世界 第六
你可以体验新的文化 如果
你学习一门新语言 你将有
机会探索 你可以
查看新电影 音乐和餐厅 并
找到更多可以参观的地方 数字 七
学习本身就是一项成就
个人成长是
人们学习一门语言的最大原因之一 我们
实际上几个月前
对我们的语言项目成员进行了一项调查 许多
人将个人目标列为
学习的主要原因 我们都有
目标和梦想
达到第八名感觉很好 它提高了
你的记忆力 我们觉得这是 尚无定论
虽然一些研究表明，在您的一生中
继续学习和扩展思维
可以
减少晚年失忆的机会
我们不能说
通过学习一种可能不会伤害的语言您的记忆力会得到改善
但它可能
无助于第 9 点 它提高了您的
多任务处理能力 我们并不完全
同意这种多任务处理 一般而言，
当
您同时做多件事情时，
您没有全神贯注于
任何事情，这可能不是一个好主意 有一件事，如果
你在知道之前学习过语言，那么你需要
在很长一段时间内集中精力才能
提高，而你可能会获得在
新语言和母语之间快速切换的能力
，
例如，我们不能这么说 学习一门
语言会提高你的多任务处理
技能 10 它可以磨砺思维
例如双语的人是更好的
批判性思考者 很难
确定这是否
属实 e 如果你流利地说另一种语言，
你可能会更批判性地思考，
因为你意识到
某些语言的一些局限性，
这可能会帮助你
更合乎逻辑，因为你可能不会
被情感语言所左右，尤其是当
你 开始并且需要花时间
来解释单词并努力
理解它们，但这又
因人而异 第 11 号它
再次提高了你的决策能力 这对某些人来说可能是正确的，
但在你学习时很难准确衡量
一种
你正在朝着目标努力
的语言
把这个想法应用到
你生活的其他领域，但我们不能说
做出好的生活决定的能力
直接来自学习一门语言，
也许它可以有助于SL 如果您对这个数字有任何想法
，请告诉我们更冒险的决策
12 它
总体
上会提高纪律
性
在饮食和健身相关的努力
以及你的职业生涯中的
第 13 号教育你的网络技能提高
我们同意这一点我们
在第一
点谈到了网络一点了解另一种语言让你
有能力与更多的人交谈你
可以用它来 建立新的关系
并建立更广泛的网络 14
你的大脑变得更大 研究表明
，继续学习新信息会
增加大脑
中与记忆相关的灰质，而我们不能
确定语言学习是否
会增加灰质，
除非 我们
从学习者的大脑扫描前后得到一些
深入的知识似乎
与更好的知识有关 整体大脑健康 如果
有任何神经科学家在关注，
请随时分享您的专业知识
第 15 号它可以延缓痴呆症和
阿尔茨海默氏症的研究表明，
双语者的痴呆症
和阿尔茨海默氏症的症状平均从 75 岁开始，
单语者的症状
开始于 71 岁左右继续 学习和
发展可以减缓大脑功能的恶化，
并有助于使头脑保持
更长时间的敏锐数字 16 你可以
建立新的联系 这绝对是
真的 知道另一种语言可以让
你建立新的业务或个人
联系，你不需要依赖
其他人为您翻译或口译
，您可以自由地以
适合您的方式进行交流
第 17 号
它可以提高您的创造力 我们不能
确定语言学习会
直接提高您的创造力，因为
创造力与许多不同的
事物有关 学习另一种语言可以
让你接触到很多新媒体
书籍 电影 电视节目 m usic art
等等，这当然可以激发你在
这个意义上语言学习可以
间接地
让你更有创造力 18 它
增强了信心 这一个真的
取决于你刚开始时的人
你可能没有很大的
信心和 你可能害怕
犯错，但随着你的
熟练程度提高，你可能也会获得
信心，如果你达到
会话水平，你可以
做一些事情，比如在
说这种语言的国家旅行，你
不必担心
沟通不畅 可以给你
信心，所以在某个时候是的，
语言学习可以是
提高你信心的一种间接方式 19 你
可以与你的家人或
祖先建立联系 我们非常同意这一点
，我们的语言计划
用户中有很大一部分正在学习，因为他们 有
说特定语言的亲戚
学习该语言可以让他们
更好地与家人联系
有些人也有兴趣 在
更多地了解他们的祖先并
想学习他们的家人
所说的语言以重新与他们的
根源建立联系 最后第 20 条它可以将您
与人们联系起来 您关心的地方和事物
学习一门新语言可以让
您建立新的联系
结交新朋友的能力 建立
亲密关系并访问
您有兴趣了解的事物，
并且您说的语言
越多，您能够
用另一种语言交流的机会就越多，这可以
打开许多原本会一直关闭的大门，
