French was a lot easier and I managed to get myself up to a basic conversational level just by teaching myself on the tube ride in the mornings. Perhaps you should have picked a different country to live in? Difficulty in picking up foreign languages (or even English when an infant) is one of the classic symptoms of even high-functioning autism sufferers. I think thats a bit unfair. Some people are just bad at languages in the way that others just don't get maths no matter how much effort they put in. It' not "unfair", it's a condition with symptoms, just like colour blindness, dyslexia or dyspraxia. Not everyone can be good at everything, nor should we blame them, it's just the way they are. Being bad at languages is not a sign of medical disability. It's a common symptom of one medical condition. I know its trendy to make everything a medical condition but this is just an absurd extrapolation. You are over-reading what I wrote. Because autistics are bad at languages doesn't mean everyone who is bad at languages is autistic. I'm sure there's a name for that logical fallacy. As there is also a name for refuting a proposition I didn't make. -- Roland Perry |
