Or to talk to your in-laws in their language.

But that&rsquo;s exactly what&rsquo;s happening — whether you realize it or not.</p> <p>Every time you conjugate a verb, decode a sentence, or fumble through a conversation in another language, your brain is changing.

Regions of your brain that handle memory, attention, and problem-solving are growing denser.</p>
