Is it possible to learn a language well at any age? And how can you start?
Join Professor Antonella Sorace for a fascinating workshop that delves into the human capacity for language learning at The Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Curious Festival.
Many people believe that successfully learning another language as an adult is difficult, if not impossible.
But is this really the case? Do you need a special talent to become multilingual later in life? How many languages can one person learn? What factors make some individuals better language learners than others? What are the lifelong benefits of speaking multiple languages?
We will explore these questions and more, uncovering the secrets behind adult language education. You might even be inspired to start learning a new language yourself!
The Royal Society of Edinburgh’s annual festival of knowledge, Curious explore diverse topics over two weeks of free events. The festival will run from Monday, 2 September - Sunday, 15 September 2024.
