Benefits of Learning a Foreign Language
Young Children
Children quickly absorb whatever they hear, making them a great candidate for discovering a foreign language as young as 3. Studies indicate bilinguals tend to be more creative thinkers and Mandarin Chinese offers its own set of unique benefits especially in music and math.
Students
In our increasingly global world, knowing a foreign language is a great asset when entering the workforce. As China's economy quickly becomes a global superpower, Chinese has become the most widely spoken language in the world. Mandarin Chinese students may be more successful academically and professionally.
Adult Learners
Whether your motivation is to converse with friends, family, colleagues or people you meet while traveling, learning a foreign language has additional benefits. Research indicates brain functions may stay sharper for bilingual speakers as they age and further suggest learning a foreign language is an effective strategy to prevent Alzheimer’s.
Adoptive Families
For families adopting children from China it's important to honor a new child's heritage and culture. There are more than just language differences to consider; these include food, cultural celebrations, family life, values and more. Dr. Wang can help make the transition more successful for all family members.
