Learning a new language is great for your brain.
Research shows that while there are long-term advantages for your brain, learning a new language can introduce immediate processing costs, particularly when listening in noisy environments.
The cost of code switching between two languages comes at the expense of listening in noise. People don’t hear as well in noise when they are listening in a second language! Listeners often show longer reaction times and slower processing when encountering a language switch.
