Learning a Foreign Language

Is it worth the effort to learn a foreign language if we can just download the Google Translate app on our phone when we need a translation? Dr. Daniel Everett says yes, it’s worth it, because language learning has significant benefits that will change our lives. Dr. Everett is the Trustee Professor of Cognitive Sciences at Bentley University in Massachusetts. His latest book is called How Language Began. You can learn more about him on his website.
