ARE INTROVERTS

BETTER LANGUAGE

LEARNERS?

While traveling

to Europe on

business, I read

Manfred

Spitzer's book

"Lernen" on how

the brain learns!

I thought about

the myth that

extroverts

make better

language

learners than

introverts.

Our brain learns

all the time. It

can't do

otherwise as

long as it gets the

right stimulus.

A motivated person, who

spends enough time with

interesting content, listening

and reading, is sure to acquire

the language.

An extrovert may start

speaking earlier than an

introvert, but that won't

matter in the long run.

VOCABULARY

A large

vocabulary and

good

comprehension,

acquired through

input, are the

keys to fluency.

This is true for extroverts and introverts.
