"We have shown that drinking alcohol can help people who have just learned a foreign language, speak foreign words more accurately and faster, which in turn confirms the common belief that small doses of alcohol help bilingual people speak a second language," - said Inge Kersbergen from the University of Liverpool (United Kingdom).
Scientists invited participants in experiments to communicate on a free topic with native speakers of the Dutch language, and before the conversation they offered to drink a serving of "juice." In some cases, the drink was indeed non-alcoholic, while in others it was a tinted and diluted vodka.
Interestingly, alcohol did not affect either the self-esteem of the participants in the experiments - both "drinkers" and "non-drinkers" believed that they knew Dutch equally badly - neither for their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary.
MOSCOW, Oct. 19 - RIA Novosti . Small portions of alcohol, as scientists found out, really unleash the language and allow a person to correctly pronounce words and communicate more actively in foreign languages, follows from an article published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology.
One of the most common and generally accepted ideas about alcohol is that alcohol unleashes language and makes a person talk about what he usually hides, or helps him overcome shyness when dealing with the opposite sex or foreigners.
Kersbergen and her colleagues confirmed that this was actually the case, observing the behavior of about five dozen Germans who had recently learned Dutch and agreed to participate in an experiment conducted by psychologists from Britain, Germany and the Netherlands.
Another group of volunteers followed the conversation - they assessed the level of language knowledge among the participants of the conversation, but did not know how and why the experiment was conducted. After the completion of the experiments, the scientists asked the volunteers to independently assess their level of Dutch language proficiency and compared these figures with what they were told by "linguists" from the second group.
The results were extremely curious. People who drank a glass of vodka, on average, received five (out of 100) points more than sober participants in the conversation, and at the same time the Dutch words were pronounced much faster and more correctly.
As psychologists emphasize, such conclusions do not mean that all people who want to communicate in foreign languages should constantly consume alcohol in large quantities. Participants in the experiments drank only a small amount of vodka, and the increase in dose, as scientists suppose, would lead not to improvement, but to a deterioration in their linguistic abilities.
