I have never thought of myself special because I can speak 4 languages. I grew up already knowing them, so how is that special to me? I don’t have the aces to boast but I know one thing, you don’t need the aces to go places. Learn to love people and culture by knowing a few words of the language they speak. That is all it takes to get speaking more than one language.
When a child fails to produce good results, it is but a demonstration of her/his inability to engage with her/his environment using her/his natural potential. To say that the child is not intelligent is daylight robbery of her/his personal dignity. Even the humblest of creatures can show signs of intelligence. (Maria Montessori, the Absorbent Mind.)
Learning language can be a lifelong learning process that does not depend on our ability or inability to study. It truly relies on our ability to perform one of these four functions: write, read, speak and listen.
