Going back and forth between languages helps the brain to develop and build on a cognitive reserve. It’s like connect-the-dot, but the goal is to connect as many dots to as many others as you can. Switching between two or more languages on a daily basis creates more and more different paths for information to flow through your brain, and this has been shown to protect against cognitive impairment diseases, such as Alzheimer’s. This type of degenerative disease will erase these pathways, and if you have built many of them, and many different ones, your brain can re-route the information for longer, for instance, delaying the onset of Alzheimer’s in up to 4 years.
