Music and Language Go Together by Oscar Preston
A recent study shows that musical training during childhood plays a key role in learning a
foreign language. The study shows that when 9-year-old children learned music for just one
hour a week, they exhibited a greater ability to learn the grammar, vocabulary, and
pronunciation of a foreign language, compared to their classmates who did not have musical
training
About 95% of the brain's growth occurs during early childhood. Musical training boosts the
brain's ability to process differences between sounds, which assists in the pronunciation of
languages. This ability lasts for life Adults who had musical training as children learn languages

faster than adults who had no musical training
This makes sense when you think that humans first started creating music 500.000 years ago.
yet speech and language was only developed 200.000 years ago. As Professor Robin Dunbar
from oxford University points out speech as a form of communication has evolved from our
original development and use of music This explains why the neural networks for music and
language significantly overlap and why children who learn music become better learning at the
grammar vocabulary and pronunciation of a new language
Question 153 According to the article, musical training during childhood
A causes the brain to grow larger
B encourages children to become professional musicians
C increases the ability to learn a foreign language
D explains why the neural networks for music and language overlap

Question 154 In what way does musical training assist with pronunciation?
A The skill required to learn music and pronounce words is similar
B Musical training boosts the brain's ability to process differences between Sounds
C Humans created music long before they developed speech


D Music and language share the same neural network

Question 155 What can we assume about adults who had no musical training as children ?
A They are unable to learn a foreign language.
B They don't enjoy music very much.
c They have difficulty processing the difference between sounds
D They may find it more difficult to learn a foreign language
