If you’d like to be at the top of your mental game – learn another language. People who are bilingual actually hold on to cognitive skills better than those who are monolingual. It’s true that it’s easiest to learn a second language under the age of ten – but it can be done at any age. If it all seems a bit daunting – consider sign language. Some people pick that up a lot easier. And when you’ve mastered that, try a different sign language – it’s not universal.
