Learn a Second Language While Commuting Not only is being bilingual an excellent, marketable skill to have, it's also an excellent way to keep your brain active. A Swedish MRI study found that learning a new language can actually make your brain grow (in this case, bigger is certainly better).
Strange, right? Well, the hippocampus and cerebral cortex are the parts of the brain that were specifically found to grow, both of which are involved in helping you to quickly and comprehensively learn new material. Luckily for us, learning a new language can be done without having to hire a tutor or enroll in classes. There are plenty of free phone apps like Duolingo available that can help you practice a new language during your train ride to work each morning. Talk about a productive distraction.
