Do higher-IQ people learn languages faster? If you have say a 140 IQ you'll probably learn mathematics at least 5 times faster than a 100 IQ person. Does this apply to language learning as well?
>>217737807That's not how it works, you won't learn anything faster because you have a higher IQ, it might be easier for you to compherend concepts and abstractions but learning a language is not about that
>>217737807I think yeah, in some sense. Most of the languages have some system, the patterns might work out well.English is shit in that sense btw.
>>217737874Well memory and processing speed are part of IQ, and those should affect how quickly you can learn a language, no?
>>217737874So what does high IQ help with?
>>217737807No dumb ass IQ is pattern recognition, autistic people have an higher IQ compared to normal people yet non of them can speak.
>>217737921I don't know, I feel like our grammar isn't very difficult. Is it? The pronunciation is awful though, very often when I learn a new word I'll have no clue how to say it.
>>217737942Autistic people actually have lower IQs than average. High functioning autists are a small fraction of all the autists in the world.
>>217737807There's millions of filipino servants that can speak japanese, malaysian, arabic and mandarin and they're low IQ af
>>217737936Identifying visual patterns
>>217737936Scoring a higher number on the IQ test obviously
>>217737967>I learn a new word I'll have no clue how to say it.That's one of the problems. You can learn the system of how to construct the sentence and the expression, but most of your words don't follow any normal rules. Most of the other languages have certain rules how to work with words, how to construct words, how to create new words.
>>217737807I speak and comprehend foreign languages better when I am slightly to moderately drunk so that makes me skeptical
>>217737807Yes higher IQ means you are better at everything. As far as intellectual takes go it's less relevant than usual for learning a language doe
>>217738025Obviously anyone can learn any language (except for literal retards). But do high IQ people learn second languages faster?
>>217737925Surely to some degree, language learning is mostly subconcious and empirical not logical and pattern based though>>217737936Scoring high on IQ tests. A very broad general measure of someone's intellectual abilities
>>217738067Well you've done all of the actual learning and internalization when you're sober and thus at full intellectual capacity.
>>217737967>The pronunciation is awful though, very often when I learn a new word I'll have no clue how to say it.Around 50% of the English vocabulary have a pronunciation that can't be guessed from their spelling.like look at those:>though>tough>cough>hiccough>plough>through>lough>borough>houghthey all end with "ough", yetthough rhymes with toetough rhymes with cuffcough rhymes with offhiccough rhymes with upplough rhymes with cowthrough rhymes with bluelough rhymes with lochborough rhymes with thoroughhough rhymes with hock
>>217738045Well it gives us an incredibly extensive dictionary of words; in my opinion it makes the language more expressive. I can see why it'd be hell to learn as a second language though.
>>217737807high iq people have easier time learning stuff but people with low iq/mid iq can ultimately learn from high iq people anyways because people can communicate with eachother and share their knowledge so it doesn't matter that much
>>217738228>Well it gives us an incredibly extensive dictionary of words; in my opinion it makes the language more expressive.If you meant English, no it's not. Any fusional or agglunative language will mog English in that. Also Chinese does much better job while being in the same class as English.
>>217738307>Any fusional or agglunative language will mog English in thatHow?
>>217737807Mathematics is a language and understanding math and languages use the same part of the brain. The meme that people are either good at math or languages is total bullshit.>>217737874That's exactly what learning a language is. Learning a language is not memorizing a bunch of words, it's understanding the concepts and abstractions behind those words and how they interact with each other in a system.
>>217738495Learn any other language from this groups and you will understand. I really cannot explain it to you, you need to shift your mentality and thought process.
