Learning new languages not only helps with communication but also benefits the brain.

    When you study and use different languages, your brain constantly switches between linguistic systems. This process works like mental exercise — it enhances neural connections and increases gray matter density in areas related to attention and memory.

    In bilingual or multilingual people, the prefrontal cortex (the part of the brain responsible for planning and decision-making) becomes more active and efficient.

    I can recommend you to re-watch your favorite tv show in french, better than a movie because you have time to get use of each voice

    Klingon is a constructed language developed by linguist Marc Okrand for the Star Trek franchise, meant to sound "alien" and feature unusual grammar.

    Language may be limited, but intention builds the bridge.
