New languages

It should not be surprising that learning multiple languages is good for the brain, and the earlier the better. However, whether or not the practice is beneficial for enhancing your IQ may depend on the age at which you start learning a new language.

According to a study from 2020, adults who participated in 11 weeks of language training did not see an increase in their IQ or IQ scores. A new study, however, looked at the link between IQ and language acquisition throughout early life. The findings showed that the best language acquisition for long-term cognitive outcomes happened between the ages of 18 and 24 months through talk and social interaction. Even though learning a new language may help people of any age become more significant performance, toddlerhood is the key time for influencing IQ scores.
