DESCRIPTION:Learning a new language is perhaps the ultimate workout for th
 e brain. With brain imaging neuroscientists can see activity involved in l
 istening\, understanding\, speaking and remembering. Our research shows ho
 w brain activity during learning\, and during overnight sleep afterwards\,
  contribute to learning new words\, figuring out grammar and gaining fluen
 cy. Based on these findings\, I will offer brain-inspired tips for learnin
 g and teaching a second language.
