A foreign language can be learned in a dream, scientists said.

During the deep sleep phase, the brain is able to effectively memorize new foreign words and their translation, researchers from Switzerland have found. In the experiment, 30 people slept with headphones: they included 27 pairs of foreign words and their translation (the words were repeated 4 times). For the purity of the experiment, the translation was fake. After 12 and 36 hours, the participants took the test. The probability of correct choice of translation 12 hours after the experiment was 37%, and after 36 hours - 41% of correct answers.
