Now,
Hannah,
you've
been
finding
out
about
some
of
the
benefits
of
being
a
polyglot.

Yes,
Neil,
there's
been
lots
of
research
about
how
knowing
more
than
one
language
can
change
your
brain.
And
this
might
have
some
health
benefits,
too.
At
What
in
the
World
we
spoke
to
Professor
Frederique
Liegeois
who's
a
cognitive
neuroscientist
at
University
College
London.
Babies,
even
before
they
speak,
have
to
tune
in
to
the
languages
around
them
to
make
sense
out
of
what
people
say
to
them.
And
then
when
children
start
to
speak
several
languages,
they
have
to
focus
on
one
language
and
ignore
another
one
where
they're
speaking.
They
also
have
to
be
able
to
switch
from
one
language
to
the
other,
depending
on
who
they're
speaking
to.
Later
on
in
age
when
adults
have
dementia,
they
seem
to
show
symptoms
later
when
they're
bilinguals
as
opposed
to
monolinguals.
We
think
that
juggling
several
languages
has
helped
them
really
boost
this
brain
efficiency,
which
is
a
great
advantage.
It's
like
a
brain
workout.
Frederique
explains
that
babies
who
grow
up
learning
more
than
one
language
have
to
tune
into
the
languages
around
them.
They
have
to
listen
to
each
language.
Over
time,
they
become
good
at
switching
languages
and
ignoring
the
ones
they
don't
need
in
a
conversation.
Scientists
think
that
juggling
several
languages
is
good
for
you.
If
you
juggle
several
things,
that
means
you
deal
with
all
of
them
at
the
same
time.
Frederique
describes
being
a
polyglot
as
a
brain
workout.
This
means
it's
exercise
for
your
brain
that
can
make
it
stronger.
