INTERESTINGLY! It is interesting that the learning of a foreign language aids the brain's development, to climb career ladder, to travel everywhere, getting to know new people, etc.

However, academics from the University College London conducted experiment: they used tomography and they examined one hundred and five people. Among these experimental subjects twenty-five persons didn't know any foreign language, other twenty-five knew one foreign language, thirty-three persons were bilinguals (knew two languages since childhood), twenty-two persons were foreigners who knew English besides first language. The neurophysiologists understood that those who knew two languages and more had the increased density of the cerebral cortex. Also, those who knew few foreign languages were more adapted to life, their brain worked more actively. Those who learnt a new foreign language in adult stage stimulated their brain, developed capacities of the brain and it was impossible to achieve by other intellectual work.
