| Jávea Grapevine February 2015 You will appreciate living in Spain more… & will know what is happening locally  -  never miss an event again……. and maybe even become involved! Studying a new language keeps those cogs turning!! Scientific studies have proven that keeping your brain active as you get older can help stave off dementia & Alzheimer’s disease. No more nasty surprises when your meal arrives… ...some words are just so similar!! Know what your children are whispering about ……. no more secrets!! You will be more employable (if you want to be!) even if a second language isn’t a requirement, nowadays it can only be an advantage (especially if you live in Spain!!) If you’re living in Spain your children will soon learn the language. Do you really want them to be able to speak a language that you can’t?
