key to learning a foreign language: how the brain processes language

learning and memory are very interesting. Our brain has a virtually unlimited storage, so we sometimes get up, go to another room, totally forget why we are there? It’s because we can not remember every single thing that happens to us or we say, or we are overwhelmed at the huge amount of useless data on our minds. Therefore, our brain must find a way to filter and store – or to throw as important – all the little bits of data that we encounter every day. Sometimes, like to forget why we went into another room to make our brains work is not important enough to keep around. This explains why we can still take years of foreign language at school do not retain it.

language lies in its own area of ​​the brain. Actually, there are two major areas: Wernicke’s allows We understand words spoken to us to Broca’s area allows us to talk about others. Interestingly, for people to learn a second language later in life, is Wernicke’s area does not show a separation of tasks based on language in Broca’s area does. Research shows that when we learn a second language as teenagers or adults, each language has its own little compartment in Broca’s area there. But for small children bilingual (or trilingual) is raised, it’s not so much isolation, in fact, that’s a pretty good bit of overlap. It looks for character development of the brain process language. Therefore, bilingual children to surf back and forth between languages ​​- or even mix them together – with such ease. For them, it saved all the space, it easily accessible. Their brains learn to distinguish between languages, but both are primary, using easy-to-speech center.

stored in it works all very interesting technical, how to apply the language to learn everything?

First, it helps explain why we can learn to listen and understand another language well before we learn to talk to him. The center of the brain for understanding and comprehension of language is not organized, so new words and concepts that fit into existing buildings. So if you are at your school that you know another language, but not to express your ideas verbally – take note. This is a natural step on the road.

Secondly, it helps us see that we help our brains develop the new issue of our new language needs. If we just sit in class learning vocabulary and grammar, our brain does not necessarily see these facts as a language. It can catalog those files the same way from history or geography. To know the facts, but facts sufficient if not important, that can later be to remove the files if they do not become usable. To help, so we can use them later (Broca’s area), our brain in a new language in the right place again, we must look to mimic the children as they learn language.

Some tips on how children can learn the language so quickly, I invite you to take a look at some of the other items in my series on key learn a foreign language instead.
