Re: Study shows EXPOSURE to multiple languages may make it easier to learn one

I agree, I think the language center in the brain gets automatically activated by sounds that are originated from another human vocal apparatus. I think we are evolutionary built that way and the EEG studies are a noninvasive and elegant way to see increase activity in the language center when passive listening to any language.
By the way, this remind me of something I read on the internet, which can be a quack study but I will paste the first lines anyways:
“New study may revolutionize language learning 27 January 2009
(PhysOrg.com) -- The teaching of languages could be revolutionized following ground-breaking research by Victoria University, New Zealand, PhD graduate Paul Sulzberger. Dr Sulzberger has found that the best way to learn a language is through frequent exposure to its sound patterns--even if you haven't a clue what it all means.
"However crazy it might sound, just listening to the language, even though you don't understand it, is critical. A lot of language teachers may not accept that," he says.”……
