        This is about a five minute video.
        I do believe you’ll all relate and enjoy this little tidbit:

          Cool stuff, Marie. And the same thing happens when you learn a foreign language. So for maximum benefit, you should learn some songs in a foreign language. Just make sure you get a good night’s sleep before doing it.

              Interesting video Marie. I don’t know how all beginners are but as John stated above, I wish I had started (well for me) 60 years earlier.
