How can neurophysiology help you learn a language?

Knowledge of human language is in and of itself almost sufficient qualify us as Homo sapiens.

Indeed, mastery of a language is based not only on the time we spend learning the language, but also in large part on our genetics.

For example, several language learning difficulties (apraxia, aphasia) may be related to a mutation of one or several genes (FOXp2, microdeletion 22q11, addition or deletion of one X or Y chromosome).

In brief, genetic heritage has a non-negligible role in language learning.

The classic example of the child who learns a language by living with a native speaker, without studying, demonstrates clearly how much environment is important in the language learning process.
