  • Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Sophie.

  • What did you say?

  • What did you say?

  • I'm Neil.

  • It's Japanese Sophie.

  • Very good, Neil.

  • So your Japanese language lessons are going well then.

  • They are indeed.

  • And did you know Sophie that scientists believe learning a second language can boost brain power?

  • Bilingualism or speaking two languages equally well is a form of brain training.

  • Brain training is where you're learning ways to increase your memory or intelligence.

  • That's great, Neil, but you're not exactly bilingual, are you?

  • Not yet, no.

  • Well, brain training is the subject of today's show.

  • And ways to train your brain might be doing a crossword puzzle, playing chess or studying a new language.

  • Now I have a question for you, Neil.

  • Oh, I hope my brain is up to the challenge.

  • I'm sure it is.
