Lingo Flamingo (Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire)

Lingo Flamingo is a non for profit organisation who teaches languages to older adults in care homes, day centres and retirement communities. There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that speaking multiple languages can delay the onset of Dementia by up to 5 years. More generally, learning a foreign language benefits the brain in other ways, by increasing reading comprehension, logic and mathematical skills, and memory and decision making skills. For these reasons we provide tailored outreach language sessions in a selection of languages to assist in keeping brains active and promote the many positive effects of language learning.
