As someone who has struggled with ADHD for much of my life, I've often wondered about its impact on my ability to learn a foreign language. Eight years ago, I moved to Italy and began learning Italian. Despite being 35 at the time, I found it exciting and enjoyed the process. However, when I later moved to Basel and attempted to learn German, I found it virtually impossible and still can't speak a word of it today. In contrast, learning French in the French-speaking part of Switzerland was a lot easier.
After reflecting on my language learning experiences, I've realized that ADHD can certainly impact our ability to learn a foreign language. ADHD can affect our executive functioning skills such as working memory, flexible thinking, and self-control. Additionally, symptoms such as hyperactivity and impulsivity can make it difficult to pay attention and stay focused in a classroom or meeting setting.
I wanted to share my thoughts and experiences on this topic because there isn't much information available about the relationship between ADHD and language learning. I plan to do more research on this subject and would love to hear from others who may have had similar experiences. Let's start a conversation about how ADHD may impact language learning and find ways to overcome these challenges.
