Learning a second language at any stage in life not only increases concentration, perception and communication skills but can also delay the effects of dementia by up to 5 years. If by 2020 we could delay the onset of dementia by 5 years then by 2030 36% less people in the UK would have dementia, saving the economy 14.1 billion pounds. My goal is therefore to implement an intergenerational foreign language outreach project to assist in postponing the effects of dementia and brain aging enabling older citizens to have more contact with their loved ones.
