Coucou les French learners,
Have you ever wondered why humans are so drawn to stories? 🧠
From the earliest cave paintings to the latest blockbuster movies, stories have always captivated our minds.
Neuroscience shows that when we listen to a story, our brains light up as if we’re experiencing the events ourselves.
Stories activate the language centers of our brains, and also the areas responsible for emotion, movement, and memory.

This is why stories are so powerful. They help us connect, remember, and acquire.
Our brains are wired to understand the world through narratives.
