Read that “bilingualism has been linked to enhanced executive function…and improved memory skills”. Has that been true for you?

The article I stumbled upon today while reading the benefits of learning another language. For those who are learning another language, have learned another language, or already know another language, do you feel as though your executive function/memory is better or has improved?

I’m learning Spanish and am frankly so surprised I can even learn new words as it has always felt like my brain has a small leak when it comes to remembering things. I’ll walk into a room and forget why I went there, or have a specific grocery list that needs to be written down (even if it’s only 3 items) because I’ll forget it all as soon as I step into the store. But somehow my brain is able to hold space for the word for “beach” in two languages?? Crazy!

I’d love to hear your experiences!
