How Learning a Language Improves Memory and Cognitive Skills

Studies show that learning a second language improves:
- Working memory
- Attention control
- Problem-solving ability
Long-term cognitive benefits
Bilingualism has been linked to delayed cognitive decline and improved mental flexibility later in life.
Vocabulary training as mental exercise
Spaced repetition and active recall are powerful cognitive workouts that strengthen memory systems beyond language learning itself.
