The Advantage of Learning English for Brain

Good news for those who love to learn English. Don't you know that learning English (and any other foreign languages) can stimulate our brain performance? Hang on second, how is it so?


To begin with, let's touch on plain facts about human brain's anatomy. As we know, the modern human's brain consists of two parts; i.e. the right and left part. The right part is chiefly responsible for creative activities; whereas, the left plays a vital role in academic learning. The right part of the brain emphasizes on rhymes, rhythm, music, pictures, imagination. The left manages words, logic, numbers, figures, mathematics, and order. Both are interconnected by a 'bridge' named corpus collosum.

What makes things worse is we are way too lazy to research on our own. 

There are various terms and abbreviations we had better to get acquainted with or else we will get lost while people are talking about them, or while your lecturer is lecturing about one of those terms and abbreviations.


These are some terms and abbreviations that I gathered after a little research on the web since I assumed knowing what they mean is essential for us.
