I recently had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the Saludablemente Mujer podcast, hosted by Yanira Puy and Valeria Espinosa, where we discussed the fascinating topic of learning a new language and its benefits for mental health. The conversation was packed with interesting points and useful tips that I invite you to discover.
What can you expect from the interview? Learning a new language and its benefits for mental health
Mental health benefits: In the interview, we explored how learning a new language stimulates the brain by promoting the creation of new neural connections. This not only keeps us mentally sharp but can also help prevent conditions like Alzheimer's.
Boosting self-esteem: One of the key topics we covered was how learning a language helps us face and overcome the fear of making mistakes. This process significantly improves our self-confidence, as we feel more capable when we see our progress.
Emotional resilience: We also talked about how learning a new language pushes us out of our comfort zone. This strengthens our emotional resilience, teaching us to handle challenges with a more positive and proactive mindset.
Cultural and emotional connections: Learning a language opens doors to new cultures, creating a strong sense of belonging. This connection helps us relate better to people from different backgrounds, which has a very positive emotional impact.
A fun touch: Sofía Vergara and jokes in English!
During the conversation, Yanira Puy shared a funny anecdote, comparing herself to Sofía Vergara in Modern Family. She mentioned the hilarious moments that arise when learning and making mistakes in a second language. These moments allow us to relax and enjoy the learning process with humor and confidence, without the fear of making errors.
If you're interested in learning more about learning a new language and its benefits for mental health, I encourage you to listen to the full interview. I share tips and personal experiences that will motivate you to take that first step in your language-learning journey.
