What's the best age to learn a
NEW LANGUAGE-Steve Kaufmann
The best age to learn
a language is when
you most want to.
Any age is the right
time to start.
Language learning
CONNECTSus with worlds
thatwehardlyknow,
Withpeoplefrom,DIFFERENT
countries and cultures.
Language Learning
is like TRAVELING
without leaving your
HOMEyetitpreparesus

makingnewfriends.
KNOWING
LANGUAGES
can help us
IN OUR
PROFESSIONAL
LIFE
EXPOSE US TO
EXCITING
BUSINESS
CONNECTIONS
OPEN UP
JOB
OPPORTUNITIES
Science now knows that our brains
remain plastic, creating new neural
connections throughout our lives.
We just keep learning!
Science also tells us
we need to keep
stimulating our brains,
Learning a language
improves our
cognitive abilities and
can stave off
Alzheimer’s.
Modern language
learning engages
us actively with
the Internet and
modern
technology, and
through it with the
world that
surrounds us.
WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG IS AN
IDEAL TIME TO START LEARNING
LANGUAGES BECAUSE YOU HAVE
SO MANY YEARS TO BENEFIT
FROM THE LANGUAGES YOU
LEARN.
MIDDLE AGE IS A PURPOSEFUL
TIME TO START LEARNING A
LANGUAGE BECAUSE YOU ARE
MORE CONFIDENT THAT YOU
KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
RETIREMENT IS THE GOLDEN AGE
OF LANGUAGE LEARNING
BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE TIME
FOR LEARNING AND FOR
ENJOYING LANGUAGES.
THERE HAS
NEVER BEEN A
GREATER TIME
TO LEARN A NEW
LANGUAGE.
Start Today!
