Why it’s easier to learn a language while you sleep, according to a study

Hearing words or phrases in a new language while we sleep can help our brain integrate and reinforce that knowledge.

Repeated exposure

Repetition is key to learning any skill, including language learning. Listening to vocabulary or phrase recordings in another language during sleep provides a form of repeated exposure without conscious effort. This technique can help familiarise the brain with the sounds and structures of the new language, making it easier to recognise and use later.
