Learning a Foreign Language.

Some interesting statistics might be
collected ON the effect upon linguistic
power and accent of the possession of a
musical ear. II would seem that per-
son with good eur for music would be
more rapid in the requirement of a for
eign tongue, and having acquired it
would possess more perfect pronuncia-
tion of the sounds than would person
not having the same ready musical gift.
Similarly such a person would be
quick TO attain the dialect Of the conn
try in which he might be living and to
adapt his speech to the brogue or pro-
vincialism with which he found his ears
surrounded.
The greater rapidity with which Ger
mans, Poles and Russians learn the
English language is surely not to be nc
counted for merely by stating that their
own more nearly resembles our language
than does that of the French or Italian.
A Greek, for instance, learns English in
about half the time it takes an Italian
to acquire French, and Russian will
speak French, English and German in
the same period that n Frenchman will
acquire mere smattering of the two
latter. Pearson : Weekly.
