Study sheds light on how brain processes languages

I red an article about how the brain process languages. This is a reporter of CNN in January 23, 1998.
Take a look about this interesting process: First, have you ever wondered why it seems harder to learn a second language as an adult than it does to learn one at an earlier age?
Researchers at the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say our brains may process language learning differently as we grow older. While the scientists still have much to learn, brain surgeons already are benefiting from their work.
The Sloan Kettering researchers used a machine called a Functional MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, to map the language centers in the brains of 12 volunteers who speak more than one language.
Some of the volunteers learned a second language as children. Others learned a second language while in high school or college. In those who learned additional languages early in life, the study indicates the brain processed the languages in the same area. For example, if a yellow area represents the Croatian language, and a red area represents the English language, the study found a large orange area showing an overlap in the way the brain merges the language capabilities.
Scientists still don't know the best time to learn a second language. They hope more studies will answer that question. But parents seem to believe their children have an easier time learning a second language.
I think this is real because some adults’ person learned English, for example at 30 years old and some kids star to speak English at 3 years old. Amazing, right? Also this report mentioned that the brain used a different area if you learned another language. The brains find it more efficient which is dedicated to the second language. The parents always said that you should to be of use younger. That is the reason that I never stop in my life. Now I´m get accustomed to do a lot of things for learning more and more.
