Proof: alcohol improves the speaking of a second language

Have you always been very interested in learning a second language? Then pour yourself that glass of vino. Because those who drink regularly learn a segundo lenguaje faster.

Yes, that's Spanish. And yes, you can learn that by pouring some sangria.

Well, okay, that's not exactly how it works, but we all know that alcohol leads to less impulse control. You suddenly dare more. You do things faster without thinking too complicated about it. And that's actually very useful if you want to learn to speak better English, Spanish, Italian, or Chinese. A study shows that alcohol has a positive effect on us when we want to learn to speak a foreign language.

For a study, fifty Germans who had recently learned Dutch were divided into two groups. One group received a low dose of alcohol, while the other group was allowed to drink a non-alcoholic beverage. Then both groups were allowed to have a conversation in Dutch for two minutes. The group that had consumed alcohol had a noticeably better Dutch pronunciation than the sober group. And we believe this will apply to all languages. Alcohol makes the tongues loosen up. Before you know it, you're chatting away in Portuguese.

It is mainly due to people's urge to be perfect. As in: perfectionism is what hinders us in many things that occur in daily life. You don't dare to take big risks because you want to do everything perfectly. You don't want to blunder, fail, or mess up. That's why you don't dare to just blurt out ‘où est la plage’ to a handsome Frenchman on vacation, but instead you stammer ‘where is the beach?’. Out of shame. That drink leads to less perfectionism: you just do it. And that's it. And with that, you learn French or German much faster. You just speak a bit of French German, German French.
