It's on my bucket list to learn a couple of languages.  I'll probably choose French and Spanish as I would be able to practice with native speakers who live in my area.

 

Recently, a report came out which stated that learning a new language is one way to keep your brain healthy and active as you age.

@kaydee50,

There has to be something affordable depending on the language of course however I would recommend that you do it in a group and in a formal setting. The R Stone and so on are a waist of money because unless you have a will of iron you will give up.

If you want brain stimulation and to socialize go for it🌻

I plan on taking either French or Italian at our local community college in the fall.  The courses are $5 each for eight weeks, so it is really affordable.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!
