Prevention in the form of learning a foreign language.
older people are not required to learn a foreign language to the point where they can carry on everyday conversations. All languages are difficult to learn, which will reduce the enthusiasm of older people for learning. It can take a single word, such as computer, and translate it into several languages, such as Italian, French, German, etc. and ask the elderly to classify the same word but different languages.It’s like a link.
The benefit of this is that we strengthen their cognitive abilities.

Hello,
I don’t entirely agree with your perspective. In my case, my grandmother loves learning languages. In fact, she still goes to classes every morning to study! She never feels frustrated when she doesn’t meet her goals; rather, it motivates her even more to keep learning, despite being 87 years old.
I think the key is to create something engaging and interactive. Of course, if it’s just papers with words, it may not capture attention. But there are countless ways to make language learning dynamic and enjoyable. You could incorporate videos, games, songs… there’s so much beyond translating words on a printed page.
Thank you for considering this viewpoint!
Yes! I may be limited by the learning concepts of the elderly in different countries, but I have not considered them enough. I will continue my research, thank you!
