Generations
Language learning across the generations!
Learning another language has a huge number of benefits - for all ages! Did you know that learning a second language can protect against Alzheimer’s?
Bilingualism can protect older adults, even after Alzheimer’s disease is beginning to affect cognitive function. Researchers think this protection stems from brain differences between those who speak one language and those who speak more than one. Our classes bring learners of all generations together, older learners, children and their parents!
