What is the primary purpose of the author?
Many people want to improve their thinking skills and
prevent mental decline. Puzzles are a popular choice for
mental training, but somewhat lacking. The problem with
things like crosswords and sudoku is that they are not
very varied. It is like going to the gym and using only
one machine: your biceps might become strong, but you
will not be properly fit. Instead, you need something
more like circuit training or parkour. That is why one of
your best options is to learn a foreign language. This will
provide a mental workout including many different skills,
from challenging your perceptions to learning
grammatical rules. If you speak to others, you get the
bonus of social interaction too. Studies also indicate that
people who are trying to learn a foreign language have
improved executive function – the ability to plan,
organise and complete tasks – although these results
have recently been disputed. There is also evidence
that bilinguals develop dementia four years later, on
average, than people who are monolingual, and that
they recover faster if they have had a stroke.
