This figure is on the rise. Being able to speak several languages brings many benefits. Among other things, multilingual people have a good understanding of other cultures and possess better language skills than those who speak only one language. The\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/sla-basel.ch\/en\/\">Swiss Language Academy Basel<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>offers numerous language courses such as one\u00a0<strong>English course in Basel\u00a0<\/strong>an.<\/p>\n<h3>Multilingualism through learning languages trains the brain<\/h3>\n<p>People who speak more than one language and can communicate in everyday conversations are considered multilingual. Learning more than one language trains the brain's executive functions. These ultimately make it possible to speak different languages. When children grow up multilingually, it is easier for them to train the brain accordingly than when learning another language in adulthood. Nevertheless, anyone can learn languages and stimulate the brain.<\/p>\n<h3>Brain concentration and effectiveness are increased<\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3618 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/sla-basel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fremdsprachenerwerb.jpg\" alt=\"multilingualism\" width=\"940\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sla-basel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fremdsprachenerwerb.jpg 940w, https:\/\/sla-basel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fremdsprachenerwerb-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sla-basel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fremdsprachenerwerb-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sla-basel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fremdsprachenerwerb-600x336.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The greatest advantage of multilingualism lies in the fact that the brain's efficiency is increased. According to studies, multilingual individuals suffer less frequently from dementia, strokes and cognitive sequelae. Another major advantage lies in the increased concentration that results from learning a new language.<\/p>\n<p>The next major advantage stems from the fact that individuals who have already learned a foreign language find it easier to learn an additional foreign language. The final major advantage is that nowadays the job market is increasingly looking for people who are multilingual. This is partly due to the fact that one has a better understanding of other cultures, which is important in a globally operating working world.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in learning English or learning French and other foreign languages, then contact us and book a<strong>\u00a0Language course in Basel<\/strong>\u00a0at the Swiss Language Academy Basel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 40 per cent of the Swiss population speak more than one language.
