[quote=Anonymous]^^I heard a segment on NPR about foreign languages and brain science. Actually, the segment was about the publication bias in science, but the example was about language learning. Bottom line: No, learning foreign languages (early or later) does not "expand" your bain. You work with what you got. Some people are good at languages. Some are good at math. Or drawing. They are not connected. (I'm pretty good with languages, but completely useful with higher levels of math or natural sciences. Alas, learning multiple languages did not expand my brain enough to accomodate Theoretical Physics, for example.)[/quote]
