What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen our cognitive ( 认知的 ) skills, and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was learn another language? It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most people you would love to be able to speak a second language. But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual? Most people recognize the many benefits of learning a foreign language: You can travel to foreign countries and feel comfortable, be a more productive and attractive employee in today’s competitive job market, and enjoy yourself in the vast cultures that surround you. But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function –a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks. Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful, The Pimsleur Approach, actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it's so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it! The Pimsleur Approach aims each lesson at teaching you to use the core vocabulary of the language, so you can speak the most in the least amount of time. It's not how many words you know, but rather, which words you can use. Each Pimsleur Approach lesson has been scientifically sequenced to rapidly lock language material into your brain after just one listen. Let the audio guide you; the program is based on what language learning should be: Quick, fun, and easy. You'll absorb your new language without any reading, writing, or computer use.
