Bilingual People Are More Adapt To Learning Third Language

    A new study has found that people who know two languages find it a lot easier to learn a third language. The study used two different groups of sixth graders from Israel that were learning the English Language. The first group had forty students and their first language was Russian, cause they were from the former Soviet Union, and they also spoke fluent Hebrew for their seconded language. The seconded group used forty two students and their first language was Hebrew but they were not fluent in any other language. They researchers tested the students and found that the group of forty students who spoke two languages had an easier and faster time learning English then the group of forty two students who only spoke Hebrew.

    Knowing that it is easier to learn a third language if you know two already is a good thing for students to know. Since for some jobs now days require the knowledge of at least one other language students shouldn’t feel like learning a language is impossible for them. For instance I thought I was never going to be able to learn another language but after I found a language I had interest in I was able to actually learn. Japanese is suppose to be a hard language to learn but for me I found it easier then Spanish. Since the structure of Japanese is backwards from English completely it was a little difficult at first. But now that I am more used to the structure I find learning languages close to Japanese like Chinese and Korean a bit easier to learn. Knowing leaning a languages can actually become easier and fun should encourage students not to give up and look for the language or languages that are right for them.
