Helen Abadzi - Efficient language learning for all: What your brain needs to do

It greatly helps to learn the languages we need for work. But how to bring this about given hectic schedules and uncertain language learning capacity? Cognitive science and neuroscience offer research that facilitates the process. Dr. Helen Abadzi, a Greek cognitive psychologist, became a polyglot of 18+ languages during her 27 years at the World Bank. At age 65+ she keeps learning the new languages she needs. The topics will include the challenges and opportunities of memorization, pattern recognition, interference from other languages, the value of etymology, the benefits of songs, the problems of automatizing new scripts, and technology that can assist. Various marketed methods and publications will also be discussed.
