Your Brain On Language(s)

And while I'm thinking about language, did you know that speaking more than one language can make you smarter and more creative? I wish I'd known that back in high school. I probably would have learned more than a smattering of words in different languages.

Here's a link to a study that shows that mastering a second language makes your brain processes information in both languages.  Oh and the study also shows that you are more flexible and adaptive in your thinking process.

    I wonder how many Tea Party people speak a second language?
