New Year New Language ?. Recent coverage of the benefits of learning a second language has resulted in many more people taking new one up or refreshing an old one. As a result, Speak Out Languages is starting a NEW range of daytime French, Spanish, Italian and German classes from January 2016!
What are the benefits?
As well as the well-documented benefits of better memory, increased awareness of surroundings, and better reasoning skills, a recent study at the University of Edinburgh has proven that taking up a language in adulthood can delay the onset of Alzheimer’s. And the good news is you don’t need to be fluent – just taking the first steps can have a profound effect. Dr Thomas Bak who conducted the study said ‘Just having the basics of those linguistic connections can delay dementia.’
Why choose Speak Out?
Speak Out is unique in that it focusses on building confidence to speak. We all know people who have ‘studied French’ at school, yet do not have the confidence to talk when in France. That is why Speak Out moves away from textbooks and grammar exercises to focus on speaking and understanding. By the end of the 10 week course, you will have all the tools you need to travel with confidence using your French, Spanish, Italian or German. And as part of every course, there’s an optional trip to Europe to put everything into practice.
What do the learners say?
It was excellent through and through. I was amazed at how quickly we made real and tangible progress. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering taking up a new language or improving an existing one.
