Want to strengthen your brain? Learn another language

Higher brain function might be as easy as learning to say “hello” in several different languages. Viorica Marian is Ralph and Jean Sundin Endowed Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders and professor of psychology at Northwestern University. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why she believes we all have the capacity to be multi-lingual and how that effects the ways we perceive the world. Her book is "The Power of Language: How the Codes We Use to Think, Speak, and Live Transform Our Minds."
