Language is in our biology

A good working memory is perhaps the brain’s most important system when it comes to learning a new language.

But it appears that working memory is first and foremost determined by our genes.

Whether you struggle to learn a new language, or find it relatively easy to learn, may be largely determined by “nature.”

That’s the conclusion of researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), who have studied language skills in Norwegian elementary school students.
