Multi-Linual Capabilities to Prevent Dementia

Multi-Linual Capabilities to Prevent Dementia

I was doing some search for improving my short term memory (which is failing little by little) and found the following.

Two early signs of DEMENTIA are labile emotion outbursts and short term memory loss.

The second language is localized on the non dominant brain (right side in a right handed person).

This makes one to use, both side of the brain effectively.

I went for a course in French few years ago and gave it up, since it is very difficult to understand the spoken language.

Written language is different from the spoken due to conjugation of sounds and dropping of sounds.

English I is pronounced as E and h sound is dropped.

In other words it is very difficult for an Englishman to learn French and vice versa, even though English originated from French.

Lately, I decided to revisit French with a Sinhala Pronunciation, which worked well.

Sinhala has more sounds than both English and French combined.

This is why we can master any language given the proper introduction early in life.

So our tradition of leaning (after 1956 SLFP) only Tamil and Sinhala is counterproductive and that is why we have IDIOTS in the Parliament with advanced DEMENTIA.

If you have a TABLET there are easy learning packages online.
I am trying them currently BUT still the pronunciations are difficult!

Research has demonstrated a significant delay in Alzheimer’s symptoms in individuals who are bilingual.

It’s not yet understood how or why this occurs. One possible explanation is that somehow the brains of bilinguals are able to compensate for the deficits caused by Alzheimer’s, causing these individuals to function as if their brains had less damage than they actually do. Although some of the research tested those who spoke another language most or all of their lives, it’s never too late to learn a new language. You can take a community education class, go to your local library or find resources online for new language learners.
