People love to travel, share their stories, a beautiful sunset, or amazing architecture that ignites the hearts of their Instagram, TikTok, or other social media profiles, where they can express their passions and interests. Now more than ever, searching for a destination, boarding a plane, and flying over the diverse cultures that enrich this vast ocean we call the world are everyday “toast.”
Like any good adventure, challenges arise (otherwise, it wouldn’t be one…) and for all those who arrive in new lands and decide to try their luck, whether for romantic, work, or intellectual reasons, learning a new language, a new way to communicate with others, is the first big step!
For some, it’s a half-inch step, for others, it’s the Tower of Babel. Adapting your brain’s configuration to a new language is not as easy as doing it from an iPhone.
To better understand this process, let’s turn to science, which explains that when our brain faces the adoption of a new language, such as English, recognized as a universal language, both major hemispheres of the brain are activated. The left hemisphere (speech) and the right hemisphere (reading and listening) generate a cognitive “match” that allows us to gradually express ourselves more fluently and confidently.
It has never been easy to learn a new language (although it is rumored in the aisles of the plane that English is the one we are most familiar with). But we must understand that this is a process, and processes to yield results must be accompanied by solid learning methods, with educational programs focused on nurturing the confidence to navigate an environment in which we feel a part.
If you want to delve deeper into the process of learning a new language from a scientific perspective, we leave you a short video:
