Here at Northbridge, we believe that learning a new language opens up a world of opportunities for our students. Speaking a second language gives a boost to the brain.
Study after study has demonstrated the cognitive benefits of learning another language, no matter how old you are. Memory improvement, longer attention span, and a reduced risk of age-related cognitive decline, are just a few of the known positive effects of speaking two or more languages.
