26、d Benefits Foreign Language LearningHave you ever found yourself in this situation：You hear a song you used to sing when you were a childa bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them
