It’s often said that we human beings can dream in a foreign language.Could dreaming in a foreign language improve our memory? Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in learning that language?

Before we look at multilingual(多语言) dreams,first we need to look at sleep.The connection between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language,including our native language.Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language.But,if we are going to remember that new word better,what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned.And in order to do that,we “need to have some sleep”,says Gareth Gaskell,a professor at the University of York.

It’s during sleep that the integration(整合) of old and new knowledge happens.At night,one part of our brain—the hippocampus—takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored.The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied,but “it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams,the brain is trying to connect the two languages”,says Marc,a researcher at a university in Bern,Switzerland.

So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to remember a new word or phrase.However,it could also have an emotional(情感) significance.Danuta,a professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Silesia in Poland,suggests that multilingual dreams can express “fears or wishes” around learning a foreign language,including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.

We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams,but one thing seems certain:if you’re trying to learn a new language,you can sleep on it.

As we all know,children are fast learners when learning a second language.However,adults can study a second language as fast as children,a new study reports.Adults can develop the increased neural(神经的) connections with language study that can avoid dementia(痴呆) by four years,as well as make traveling a lot easier.

In an examination of Spanish second-language learners,the researchers found that after simplest training,the brain activity between sentences that relied on grammatical features unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers.“I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good.It shows that,even with limited time in the college classroom,learning can happen quite quickly and well,” said professor Alison Gabriele,the co-author of the paper.

Beyond that,it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort.Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings.National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan,author of Family Language LearningLearn Another LanguageRaise Bilingual Children,that as for immersion(沉浸) in language study,practicing a second language with people is the most important part,and who talks to each other more than a family? Language learners need to be brave.Besides,they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.

Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting.Furthermore,any home activity,whether that’s gardening,playing in the yard,watching movies,going shopping,cleaning,or cooking a meal,becomes an opportunity for language learning.Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework.Jernigan suggests using subtitles(字幕) too,so you can see which words are being used.
