I Know I Can Help You Learn Spanish.

&ldquo;Bill&rdquo;, a retired attorney in his 80s, wants very badly to learn Spanish. Can he do it at this point?&nbsp;

A <a href="https://www.ap.org/news-highlights/spotlights/2025/older-adults-may-struggle-to-learn-a-new-language-but-classes-are-a-worthwhile-exercise/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">recent AP article</a> refers to studies done by the science journal Nature Aging. They researched second-language acquisition, including whether being bilingual delays the progression of Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease or aids in multi-tasking and problem-solving. Ellen Bialystok, professor emeritus at York University in Toronto and a cognitive neuroscientist asserts that &ldquo;Over the lifespan, people who have managed and used two languages end up with brains that are in better shape and more resilient.&rdquo;&nbsp;

My client Bill has made amazing progress in learning multiple verb tenses, scores of vocabulary words and is able to participate in basic conversations. More than anything, he relishes the fight for the ability to make sense of the &ldquo;secret code&rdquo; of the language and to be included among those who can access it.&nbsp;
I&rsquo;ve been with him through the journey and have adapted the learning process to his specific needs all along the way.&nbsp;

What drives you to want to learn?&nbsp;
