When you are a highly sensitive person: Learning languages as an HSP

Last year I read two interesting books titled „The highly sensitive person“ and „The highly sensitive person in love“ written by Dr. Elaine Aron.

Here is some information about HSPs:

Are you a highly sensitive person or maybe you know someone who is highly sensitive? What is it like to be highly sensitive?

Do you think HSPs learn languages in another, intuitive way? Is it sometimes possible to „feel“ the language, even if you don’t know grammar rules?

Please share your thoughts on this topic.

Thank you! :)

Yes, it is a very interesting subject. I am an HSP and have been learning languages all my life. My best language is French but can manage Spanish and Italian fairly well. If I don't like a language (for me German) I just cannot learn it. I think there has to be some sort of emotional connection with the language for us. I have dabbled in Russian, Chinese, Dutch and am now living in Iceland so am forced to learn Icelandic even though my patience sometimes runs out with this language and all the declensions. As far as feeling the language, I think it depends, but for me, I get totally immersed into French especially when I am spending time in France. It is almost as if I "bloom" in France- I have no idea why. I am very intrigued by the HSP and language connection.
