It's commonly known in the language learning community that your 1st new (adult) language is the hardest and every language from there gets easier. Because the first time you have to also build the "library" of metacognition appropriate for learning languages. The next time you do it, you already have that library in place and the process is much faster.
- ggm 5y agoI can believe your personal experience. But, I think your metacognition may be a sign you invested more, to unpack your higher functional capability here. Remember, there's a lot more monoglots out there. You're testing this as a small self-assessed group. It would be cheating, but I might add: maybe you have better than average metacognition brain function?
