I see a specific intelligence behind successful language learning.

Is there a certain type of intelligence to learn languages?

In my years as a teacher I would say that metacognition is the most important trait, but also elasticity of the mind, discipline, humility, delayed gratification, and an ability to read the subtext. These are all the qualities that contribute to a certain type of intelligence. The one that allows you to learn a language. In more ways than one – cause your probably thinking about yourself doing whatever you usually do and the way you do it, its not so simple , because even what you do is infuenced by the qualities. For example metacognition would be a guy who learns the possession in French and is able to ask himself why am I learning this? And can project himself into a future use of it. and who can self-explain after he's studied.... he will be the better learner. Bad learners do the immediate bit but are incapble of turning this into a metadiscourse. You have to ask yourself ok what am I doing? Why am I studying this - and how well am I studying? Will my teacher think I did enough work? Are you able to say something about your own learning? Of course it also takes discipline and humility, those 2 work hand in hand, you have to accept that you don't know something, and that you may not know how to study it. To have humility you need self awareness. You need that elasticity, of mind to understand that what you thought isnt the truth necessarily, to think about why the teacher or course designer is asking you to do a certain thing. #AdultFrenchMastery #LanguageLearning #FrenchGrammar #OuiCommunicate #Linguistics #polyglot
