Factors which influence language learning
“ ’[Language] learners who have highly developed language skills (such as reading, writing and richness of vocabulary) in their native language will most likely find that these skills facilitate second language acquisition’,
though this has been less explored in L3 learners. ”
(Tracey Tokuhama, 2013)

Ten Key Factors which influence language learning
1. Timing (Windows of Opportunity) 2. Aptitude 3. Motivation 4. Strategy 5. Consistency 6. Opportunity and support (home, school, community) 7. Linguistic and historic relationship between languages 8. Siblings 9. Gender 10. Hand-use as a reflection of cerebral dominance for languages
