More than a quarter of UK adults regret never learning another language and that includes Irish presenter Riyadh Khalaf, who has an Iraqi father and wishes he could speak Irish or Arabic. He investigates the benefits of learning a new language and finding out how it can delay the onset of dementia. Lifelong friends and bandmates Jon and Steve prove it's never too late to learn something new. At 67 and 55 they go head to head to learn Spanish, comparing app-only learning with face to face classes.

You can find more resources from the Open University about language learning on the Morning Live website.
